Save Your Tooth with Root Canal Treatment
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a common dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). It is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection, and save the natural tooth.
At Dr. JS Dental Clinic, we use modern tools and techniques to ensure your RCT is comfortable, quick, and highly effective.
When Do You Need an RCT?
You may need a root canal if you are experiencing:
- Severe toothache while chewing or applying pressure
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- Swelling or tenderness in nearby gums
- A recurring pimple on the gums
If you have any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult our dental experts for a proper diagnosis.
The Root Canal Process at Dr. JS Dental Clinic
- Examination and X-ray: We begin with a thorough examination and take X-rays to assess the infection’s extent.
- Local Anesthesia: The area is numbed to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure.
- Cleaning the Canal: We carefully remove the infected pulp and clean the inside of the root canal.
- Filling and Sealing: The canal is filled and sealed with a biocompatible material.
- Crown Placement: In most cases, a crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore strength and function.
