What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to remove infection from inside the tooth and protect it from further damage.

Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes infected due to decay, cracks, or injury, it can cause severe pain.

Root canal treatment involves:

  • Removing infected pulp
  • Cleaning and disinfecting the tooth
  • Filling and sealing it
  • Restoring it with a crown
