What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure designed to treat infection or damage to the pulp of a tooth. The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, RCT can save the tooth and alleviate pain.
Procedure Steps
- Diagnosis and Preparation: The dentist conducts an examination, often including X-rays, to assess the condition of the tooth and surrounding bone.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the tooth and surrounding area to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
- Access Opening: A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber.
- Cleaning and Shaping: The dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp using specialized instruments. The root canals are then cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
- Filling: After cleaning, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal the space and prevent further infection.
- Restoration: Finally, the access opening is sealed, often with a temporary filling. A permanent restoration, such as a crown, may be placed in subsequent visits to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
Advantages of Root Canal Treatment:
- Pain Relief**: RCT alleviates severe tooth pain caused by pulp infection or inflammation.
- Tooth Preservation**: It allows for the retention of the natural tooth, which is preferable to extraction.
- Functional Restoration**: After treatment, the tooth can continue to function normally, aiding in chewing and speaking.
- Cost-Effective**: Preserving the tooth through RCT can be more economical than extraction and subsequent replacement options.
Conclusion:
Root canal treatment is a vital procedure for saving infected or damaged teeth. While it has numerous benefits, including pain relief and tooth preservation, it also comes with potential complications that should be discussed with a dental professional. Proper aftercare and follow-up can significantly enhance the success of the treatment.

If the cavity isn’t repaired, this cavity will continue to expand—eventually entering into your nerve canal. This can be excruciatingly painful. However, it can also lead to dire problems such as abscess or infection. Replacing old fillings or fixing chipped teeth can also be required. The most important reason to fix your cavity early on is to avoid a painful and costly root canal.
