Root Canal Treatments (RCT) are advanced dental procedures designed to save teeth that are severely decayed or infected. During an RCT, the dentist carefully removes the damaged or infected pulp from inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and then fills and seals them to prevent further infection. This treatment helps relieve severe tooth pain, preserves your natural tooth structure, and restores normal chewing and biting function. Modern techniques make RCT safe, effective, and much more comfortable than many patients expect. By choosing a root canal, you can maintain your natural smile and avoid the need for tooth extraction or implants.
