Save Your Natural Tooth
Precise, gentle endodontic care focused on comfort and long-term strength.
what is Root Canal Treatment
RCT removes inflamed or infected nerve tissue from inside the tooth, disinfects the canals, and seals them to help relieve pain and preserve your tooth. Many back teeth benefit from a protective crown afterward to reduce fracture risk.
Signs you may need an RCT
- Lingering sensitivity to heat/cold, spontaneous pain, swelling, pain on biting, deep decay, or trauma.
- Local anesthesia and isolation.
- Access to canals; removal of infected tissue.
- Irrigation and shaping of canals.
- Fill and seal with biocompatible material.
- Temporary or permanent restoration; plan for a crown if indicated.
- Expect mild tenderness for a few days, manageable with OTC pain relievers; we’ll share detailed aftercare tips.
- Many molars require full-coverage crowns to protect against cracks after RCT; we’ll discuss timing and material choices.
