Root Canal

What is Root Canal Treatment (RCT)?

A root canal is a dental treatment used to save a tooth that is badly damaged or infected. The dentist removes the infection, damaged nerve and blood vessels inside the tooth, cleans it, and seals it to stop the infection from coming back. After the treatment, a crown (cap) is usually placed on the tooth to make it stronger and restore its function. Root canal treatment helps keep your natural tooth and maintain healthy teeth.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

   Restores Your Smile
A root canal and crown fix your tooth, making it look and work like it should, giving you a natural, confident smile.

   Easy and Comfortable
Modern root canal treatments are almost painless, and recovery is usually quicker and easier than getting a tooth removed.
