Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a specialized dental procedure designed to save a tooth that is badly decayed, infected, or severely damaged. Instead of removing the tooth, the dentist carefully cleans out the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth), disinfects the canals, and seals them with a filling material. Finally, a crown is often placed on top to restore strength and function. This procedure not only relieves severe tooth pain and sensitivity but also preserves the natural tooth structure, preventing the need for extraction.

RCT is a safe and effective treatment that helps patients maintain their natural smile while restoring normal chewing and speaking abilities. With modern techniques and anesthesia, the procedure is comfortable and far less painful than commonly believed. Root canal-treated teeth can last for many years when supported with proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, making it one of the most reliable ways to protect long-term dental health.
