What is Root Canal Treatment (RCT)?
A Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to save a badly infected, decayed, or damaged tooth. Instead of removing the natural tooth, RCT cleans and disinfects the inner nerve chamber (pulp) and seals it to prevent future infection.
The goal of RCT:
- ✔Remove infection
- ✔Relieve pain
- ✔Save the natural tooth
- ✔Restore chewing strength
- ✔Prevent further dental complications
Modern RCT procedures are painless, safe, and highly successful, especially when performed by an experienced dentist like Dr. Ankur Srivastava.
Why is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?
tissue inside the tooth (pulp) becomes infected due to:
Deep cavity (tooth decay)
Cracked or broken tooth
Repeated dental procedures
Trauma or injury
Gum infection that spreads inside the tooth
If not treated on time, infection may lead to:
⚠ Severe toothache
⚠ Swelling and pus (abscess)
⚠ Jawbone damage
⚠ Tooth loss
⚠ Spread of infection to other teeth
Early RCT can save your tooth, prevent major dental complications, and avoid costly future treatments.
