Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure performed to save a severely decayed or infected tooth by removing the damaged pulp inside the tooth. Once the pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed with a biocompatible filling material.
This treatment helps eliminate pain, prevent tooth extraction, and maintain natural tooth structure. With modern techniques and advanced anaesthesia, root canal treatment today is virtually painless and highly effective, offering long-lasting results.

Signs & Symptoms

Severe toothache or pain while chewing

Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold

Swollen or tender gums near a tooth

Darkening or discolouration of a tooth

When to seek medical attention?

 Do’s:

Maintain good oral hygiene, brush and floss daily

Take prescribed medications as advised

Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until the crown is placed

Attend all follow-up appointments

Use a soft-bristle toothbrush for gentle cleaning

 Don’ts:

Don’t delay getting a dental crown after the root canal.

Avoid eating sticky or crunchy foods immediately after treatment.

Don’t skip antibiotics if prescribed.

Avoid using the treated tooth for hard bites until fully restored.
