Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
Root Canal Treatment (RCT): Save Your Natural Tooth Painlessly
A severe toothache, sensitivity, or swelling could be a sign of an infected or damaged tooth. Instead of losing the tooth, Root Canal Treatment (RCT) can help save it and restore its function. At Swastik Superspeciality Dental Clinic, we offer painless and advanced RCT procedures to relieve discomfort and preserve your natural smile.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
RCT is a dental procedure that removes infection from inside a tooth, specifically from the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. The infected pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then it is sealed with a filling or a crown to restore its strength.
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
If you experience any of these symptoms, you may need RCT:
- Persistent tooth pain, especially while chewing
- Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks
- Swollen gums or an abscess near the affected tooth
- Deep decay or a cracked tooth causing infection
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
Ignoring an infected tooth can lead to severe pain, swelling, and even tooth loss. RCT helps you avoid extractions and keeps your natural teeth healthy for years to come.
The Root Canal Procedure
- Diagnosis & X-ray – A detailed examination and digital X-ray help determine the extent of infection.
- Anesthesia & Cleaning – Local anesthesia ensures a painless experience. The infected pulp is removed, and the root canal is cleaned.
- Filling & Sealing – The canal is sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent future infections.
- Crown Placement – In most cases, a dental crown is placed to protect the treated tooth and restore its function.
Why Choose Root Canal Over Extraction?
Many people fear RCT, but modern technology makes it a painless and effective procedure. Saving your natural tooth through RCT is always better than extraction because it:
- Maintains your natural bite and chewing ability
- Prevents neighboring teeth from shifting
- Preserves the jawbone and facial structure
- Eliminates pain while keeping your smile intact
