What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a painless procedure to restore and save badly damaged or infected teeth. The tooth nerve and pulp are removed by an endodontist during the first stage of the treatment.

The interior is cleaned afterwards to stop new infections from penetrating, post which medication is added and sealed. A crown needs to be fixed following the procedure as a root canal weakens the tooth.
