Root Canal Treatment – Save Your Natural Tooth with Precision Care
What Is a Root Canal Treatment?
A Root Canal is a dental procedure performed to treat infection or inflammation deep inside the tooth — in an area known as the pulp chamber.
The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels that can become infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures.
During an RCT, the infected pulp is removed, the canal is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and the space is sealed with a biocompatible filling material.
This not only stops pain and infection but also saves the tooth from extraction.

Step-by-Step Root Canal Procedure
Examination & Diagnosis:
Digital X-rays and dental scans are taken to assess the extent of infection and identify the affected canals.Local Anesthesia:
The area is numbed completely to ensure a pain-free experience.Access Opening:
A small opening is made on the tooth surface to reach the infected pulp chamber.Cleaning & Shaping:
The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected using rotary endodontic tools.Filling the Canal:
The cleaned canals are filled with gutta-percha, a biocompatible material that seals the space and prevents re-infection.Sealing & Restoration:
The tooth is then sealed with a filling, and in most cases, a dental crown (usually zirconium) is placed to strengthen and restore function.
