Root Canal Treatment (RCT)

At iSmiles Dental Hospital, we provide safe, effective, and pain-free Root Canal Treatment to save your natural teeth and relieve dental pain. Root canal therapy is a highly specialized procedure designed to treat infection or damage within the tooth's pulp (the inner soft tissue), helping preserve your tooth and restore its functionality.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal is a procedure to remove infected or damaged pulp from the inside of a tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels that can become inflamed due to decay, trauma, or deep cavities. Once the pulp is removed, the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection.

When Do You Need a Root Canal?

You may need a root canal if you experience:

  • Severe tooth pain while chewing or biting.
  • Persistent sensitivity to hot or cold.
  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums.
  • Darkening or discoloration of the tooth.
  • Pus formation or a pimple on the gums.

Steps Involved in Root Canal Treatment

  1. Diagnosis and Preparation:

    • A thorough dental examination and X-rays are taken to assess the extent of the infection.
    • Local anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free experience.

  2. Pulp Removal:

    • A small opening is made in the tooth to access the infected pulp.
    • The pulp is carefully removed using specialized tools.

  3. Cleaning and Disinfection:

    • The root canals are cleaned and shaped to remove all traces of infection.
    • The canals are then disinfected to eliminate bacteria.

  4. Filling and Sealing:

    • The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) to seal the space and prevent reinfection.
    • A temporary filling is placed to protect the tooth until the final restoration.

  5. Restoration:

    • To restore the tooth’s strength and function, a crown or filling is placed over the treated tooth. Crowns are often recommended for back teeth or teeth with significant damage.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

  • Pain Relief: Eliminates the source of tooth pain and discomfort.
  • Saves Natural Teeth: Preserves your original tooth instead of extracting it.
  • Prevents Infection Spread: Stops the infection from affecting surrounding teeth and gums.
  • Restores Function: Allows you to bite and chew normally.
