Root Canal Treatment (RCT), also called Endodontic Treatment, is a procedure performed when cavities reach the pulp (the innermost layer of the tooth) and cause inflammation. It is necessary to save damaged teeth from extraction. This procedure is performed by an Endodontist, also known as Root Canal Specialist. The procedure includes:

• Removal of inflamed or infected tooth material
• Cleaning and disinfection
• Fill with an inert material and seal
• Restoration and crown/cap

This is a multi-step process that may require multiple sessions.

Why is Root Canal Treatment necessary?

A Root Canal Treatment is performed on a damaged or infected tooth. Infection can be caused by a cracked or chipped tooth, deep decay, gum disease, or possibly repeated dental work on a specific tooth. It is extremely important to receive a Root Canal treatment because:

• It stops the spread of infection and then saves the tooth from extraction
• RCT relieves the pain caused by inflammation

Symptoms

• The most common symptom that might require Root canal treatment is toothache. The pain can range from mild to severe. It can get worse over time, and you’ll feel the pain even if you bite your food.
• The other reason is prolonged sensitivity. If you get a feeling in your tooth when you eat something hot or cold, there is the slightest chance that you need a Root Canal Treatment.
• Swollen gums can also be a sign that you need a Root Canal.

What are the consequences if Root Canal Treatment is not performed?

• If the pain subsides, it doesn’t mean that your tooth has healed over time, but that the nerves inside the tooth are all dead and the infection has grown many times over.
• The bacteria from the infection can invade the tissues of the gums and jaw, which can cause a pus-filled abscess. It can even lead to serious medical conditions like heart disease and stroke.
