Root Canal Treatment
A root canal treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to save a tooth that is severely decayed or infected. At Health Avenue Dental Clinic, we specialize in providing gentle and effective root canal treatments, relieving pain, and preserving your natural teeth for long-term oral health.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal treatment is performed when the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels) becomes infected or damaged due to decay, injury, or deep cavities. The procedure involves:
- Removing the infected pulp
- Cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth
- Filling the space with a biocompatible material
- Sealing the tooth and placing a crown to restore its strength and function.
Who Needs Root Canal Treatment?
You may need a root canal if you experience:
- Severe tooth pain, especially when chewing or touching the tooth
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth
- Darkening of the tooth
- Persistent abscess or pimple on the gums
A root canal is a way to save your natural tooth and avoid extraction, which is especially important for maintaining proper tooth alignment and chewing function.
