From debunking myths to understanding the procedure, we’ve got you covered!

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root Canal Treatment, often abbreviated as RCT, is a dental procedure performed to save a severely infected or damaged tooth from extraction. It involves removing the infected pulp, which comprises nerves and blood vessels, from the tooth’s inner chamber (pulp chamber) and canals. The tooth is then thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection.

When is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?

Dr. Rohan Bhede emphasizes that RCT becomes necessary when a tooth’s pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, chips, or trauma. Common signs indicating the need for RCT include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot and cold, swollen gums, and a pimple-like bump on the gum. Timely intervention can save your natural tooth and prevent the spread of infection to neighboring teeth.

Debunking Root Canal Myths

Root Canal Treatment has garnered a reputation for being painful and daunting. However, Dr. Bhede busts these myths and assures that modern dental techniques, anesthesia, and sedation options make the procedure comfortable and virtually painless. In fact, RCT provides relief from tooth pain caused by infection, making it a tooth-saving blessing.
