Root Canal
What is Root Canal Treatment?
A Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage in the pulp of a tooth. The pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, can become infected due to deep decay, injury, or trauma. When the pulp is damaged, it can cause severe pain and discomfort. Root canal therapy involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning the canals, and sealing the tooth to restore its health and function.
Why Do You Need a Root Canal?
You may need a root canal treatment if you experience:
- Persistent tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure.
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth.
- Tooth discoloration or sensitivity to hot/cold that lingers.
- An abscess or pimple-like bump on the gums.
- If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it's crucial to visit a dentist as soon as possible to avoid further complications and potentially save your tooth.
