Root Canal
Instead of extracting a severely decayed or broken tooth, a root canal procedure can save and heal it. Cleaning the canals inside the tooth’s root is what gives the phrase “root canal” its meaning.
The field of dentistry known as endodontics focuses on the causes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseased dental pulp and the supporting structures around it. Typically, this is done by removing the pulp cavity’s nerve and other tissue and replacing it with suitable bioinert filling materials.
Treatment options include conventional RCT, single visit RCT, and laser aided RCT, depending on the clinical state of the patient’s tooth.
Why is Root Canal treatment needed?
Root canal treatment is suggested when the soft tissue (pulp) of your teeth or tooth is inflamed or infected.
The most frequent causes include trauma, severe caries, cracks, cusp fractures, and recurrent dental procedures. Trauma can result in swelling, tooth discolouration, and, if not treated in a timely manner, significant pain and the formation of an abscess or cyst.
Signs that you need a Root Canal
If you suspect a problem with one or more of your teeth, here are 7 signs you need a root canal for yourself:
- Persistent pain is one among the indicators that you need a root canal.
- Cracked or chipped teeth.
- Sensitivity To Heat or Cold.
- Swollen in the gum area.

Root Canal Treatment
It often requires two to three sittings for the root canal specialist to remove the diseased or infected pulp from the impacted teeth, precisely form and clean the root canal system, and then fill the prepared space with a bioinert material.
Today, many RCTs are completed in a single appointment, with treatments lasting 45 to 90 minutes.
You will be instructed to go back for a permanent restoration of the same tooth after your RCT is finished. The tooth restoration is crucial because it preserves the root canal treated tooth from oral fluids, stops additional decay, and restores its form and function.
