Root Canal Treatment (RCT)

Root Canal Treatment (RCT), also known as endodontic therapy, is a specialized dental procedure used to save a tooth that has been severely decayed, infected, or damaged. The treatment involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing them with a biocompatible filling material to prevent reinfection. In most cases, a dental crown is placed afterward to restore the tooth's strength, function, and appearance.

At our Department of Dentistry, Root Canal Treatment is performed by experienced dental professionals using modern diagnostic techniques and advanced equipment to ensure precise, safe, and comfortable care. Preserving the natural tooth through RCT helps restore normal chewing function, relieves pain, prevents the spread of infection, and maintains long-term oral health.

  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
