Root Canal Treatment

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment (RCT), also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure that removes infected or severely damaged tissue from inside your tooth. Contrary to popular belief, modern root canal treatment is virtually painless and often provides immediate relief from the severe pain caused by tooth infection.

The procedure involves removing the infected pulp (nerve and blood vessels) from inside the tooth, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing the space to prevent further infection. This allows you to keep your natural tooth instead of having it extracted.

At our dental clinic in Kharadi, we’ve perfected painless root canal techniques that make this life-saving procedure as comfortable as getting a regular filling.
