Root Canal Treatment (R.C.T) / Single Seeting

Root canal treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage deep within a tooth’s pulp, which houses the tooth’s nerves and blood vessels. The procedure involves removing the infected or damaged tissue, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then filling and sealing the space to prevent further infection.

Despite its reputation, modern RCT is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a regular filling, thanks to local anesthesia and advanced techniques. RCT is crucial for saving a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted, preserving the natural tooth and preventing the need for more extensive treatments like dental implants or bridges.

With proper care, a tooth that has undergone RCT can last a lifetime. After the procedure, a dental crown is often placed over the tooth to provide additional strength and protection. Overall, RCT is a highly effective and common procedure that can save teeth and restore oral health.
