Root Canal (RCT)

The RCT procedure involves removing infected pulp from the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the canal, filling it with a biocompatible material, and sealing it to prevent further infection.

The benefit of RCT is that it relieves pain, eliminates infection, and preserves the natural tooth, helping maintain normal chewing and jaw function.

Side effects of RCT may include mild pain or sensitivity, temporary swelling, risk of tooth discoloration, and, in rare cases, reinfection if bacteria remain.
