Root Canal Treatment

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure that helps save a severely decayed or infected tooth by removing the damaged pulp and sealing it to prevent further infection. At Smile Care Dental Clinic & Implant Centre, we specialize in painless and precise single-visit root canal treatments using advanced rotary and digital technology, ensuring comfort and long-lasting results.

When Do You Need a Root Canal?

  • Persistent toothache or sensitivity to hot and cold
  • Deep decay reaching the tooth pulp
  • Swelling, tenderness, or abscess near the affected tooth
  • Cracked or injured tooth exposing the pulp
  • Discoloration or darkening of the tooth

The Root Canal Procedure:

  1. Diagnosis & X-Ray: The dentist examines the tooth and takes an X-ray to assess the extent of infection.
  2. Local Anesthesia: The area around the affected tooth is numbed to ensure a painless experience.
  3. Pulp Removal: The infected pulp is carefully removed from the root canals.
  4. Cleaning & Shaping: The canals are cleaned, disinfected, and shaped for filling.
  5. Filling & Sealing: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
  6. Final Restoration: A crown is placed over the treated tooth for protection and strength.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment:

  • Saves your natural tooth and prevents extraction
