A Root Canal Treatment (RCT), or endodontic therapy, is the most effective solution for repairing the damaged inner part of a tooth, known as the pulp. The pulp is a soft tissue inside the tooth beneath the enamel and dentin, containing blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. It plays a vital role during the tooth’s development.
When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected—due to deep decay, faulty crowns, multiple dental procedures, or a cracked tooth—it can cause significant pain and lead to infection. A root canal treatment involves removing the inflamed or infected pulp, relieving pain, and restoring the tooth’s health. This relatively painless procedure not only saves your tooth but also allows you to maintain your smile and enjoy your favorite foods without the need for ongoing dental work.
A Root Canal Treatment is necessary when a tooth is damaged by a crack, break, or cavity, making it prone to food particles sticking. These food particles, combined with bacteria, lead to decay. If left untreated, the cavity deepens, exposing the tooth’s pulp or nerve tissue.
Once the pulp is exposed, it deteriorates, allowing bacteria to grow inside the tooth, causing an infection or leading to an abscess—a painful pocket of pus that forms at the base of the tooth’s roots. This can result in severe pain, swelling, and discomfort. At this stage, root canal treatment is essential to remove the damaged pulp, clear the infection, and alleviate the pain.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult a dentist to determine if a root canal treatment is necessary.
