Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment (RCT), also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth.

When the soft tissue inside the tooth, called the pulp, becomes infected or severely inflamed, root canal treatment can remove the infection, relieve discomfort, and help preserve the natural tooth.

When Is Root Canal Treatment Needed?

Your dentist may recommend RCT when the pulp of a tooth is infected or significantly damaged.

Common signs may include:

  • Persistent toothache

  • Severe sensitivity to hot or cold

  • Pain while biting or chewing

  • Swelling around the tooth or gums

  • Tooth discoloration

  • A recurring pimple or abscess on the gums

  • Deep tooth decay

  • Cracked or injured teeth

Sometimes, a tooth requiring root canal treatment may not cause obvious symptoms. Regular dental examinations can help identify problems at an earlier stage.
