Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment, or RCT, is a tooth-saving procedure that involves the removal of infected soft tissue from the tooth and the elimination of dental pain. With our clinic’s superior expertise and equipment, the majority of RCTs may be performed comfortably in a single sitting.
Our tooth is made up of three major structural components: enamel, dentin, and pulp. Enamel is the tooth’s hard exterior layer. Dentin is also a hard substance that makes up the intermediate layer. The pulp is the tooth’s interior structure, made up of soft tissue that contains the nerves and blood arteries that supply it.
Some common signs and symptoms which may suggest a need for root canal treatment include :
- A severe toothache that tends to increase in lying down position.
- Significant sensitivity to hot, cold or sweets.
- Change in color (discoloration) of a tooth.
- Pain on biting on a tooth.
- Swelling on the face especially in the jawbone area.
- The appearance of a boil or swelling in the gingiva (gums).
