Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a procedure to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, clean the area, and seal it to prevent further issues. It aims to save the natural tooth, relieve pain, and restore its function. After RCT, the tooth is often restored with a filling or crown for protection.
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage deep within a tooth’s root canal system. During RCT, the dentist or endodontist removes the infected or inflamed pulp tissue, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and then seals it to prevent further infection. This treatment is necessary when the pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels,
and connective tissue, becomes infected or damaged due to decay, injury, or other causes. RCT helps to save the natural tooth, alleviate pain, and restore its function. After RCT, the tooth is typically restored with a filling or crown to strengthen it and protect it from further damage.
Keeping the natural tooth through RCT helps preserve the jawbone structure and prevents issues associated with tooth loss.
RCT can effectively alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with an infected or damaged tooth, providing relief for the patient.
By removing infected tissue and sealing the tooth, RCT prevents the spread of infection to other teeth or areas of the mouth.
After RCT and restoration with a crown or filling, the tooth can resume normal biting and chewing function.
RCT allows you to keep your natural tooth, which is usually the best option for maintaining oral health and function.
With proper restoration, RCT can maintain or improve the cosmetic appearance of the tooth, contributing to a natural-looking smile.
While the misconception exists that RCT is painful, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that the patient does not feel pain during the treatment. After the procedure, some discomfort is normal but can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
The duration of RCT depends on the complexity of the case and the number of root canals involved. In general, a single-visit RCT can take about 60 to 90 minutes, while multiple visits may be required for more complex cases.
RCT is necessary when the pulp inside the tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or trauma. If left untreated, the infection can spread and lead to severe pain and abscess formation.
After RCT, the tooth may be restored with a filling or crown to protect it and restore its function. Patients may experience some discomfort or mild pain after the procedure, which can be managed with medications. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the healing process and ensure the tooth is functioning properly.

When performed correctly and followed by proper restoration, RCT can provide a permanent solution for saving a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted. However, the long-term success of RCT also depends on maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
ExcellentBased on 353 reviewsHASEENA KHATUN2024-03-04I went to the clinic because I was having toothaches, and after seeing the doctor, I learned that my tooth was decaying and that I would need to have it extracted. I was terrified of the pain, but Dr. Nancy and the staff made the process go very smoothly, and even though I have a small daughter, I didn't have to take any medication. I am really grateful for that. I had free therapy; thank you very much ma'am.Akshay Gupta2024-02-19Good clinic, awesome doctor, awesome staff.Richa Rawat2024-02-11Good clinicArjun Singh Bora2024-02-11Good clinic and doc.
