What is Root Canal Treatment (RCT)?

Root Canal Treatment, also known as Endodontic Therapy, is a procedure designed to repair and preserve a tooth whose pulp has been exposed due to decay or trauma. When bacteria infect the pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and connective tissues, an RCT is necessary to save the tooth.

The procedure involves:

1. Removing the infected or inflamed pulp.
2. Thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the tooth’s interior.
3. Sealing the tooth to prevent future infections.

By addressing the source of the infection, RCT eliminates severe pain and preserves the natural tooth structure.

Benefits of RCT

Pain Relief: It alleviates the pain caused by severe tooth infections.
Tooth Preservation: The procedure is performed when the tooth root and supporting tissues are in good condition.
Structural Support: After cleaning and sealing, the tooth is reinforced with a crown for added durability.

Why Is RCT Important?

Failing to undergo RCT for an infected tooth can lead to serious complications, including:
– Spreading of infection to other teeth or body parts.
– Development of dental abscesses (pus accumulation).
– Loss of the tooth.
– Persistent tooth pain and swelling.
– Gum inflammation and jaw swelling.
– Tooth discoloration or looseness.

Is RCT Painful?

Contrary to common concerns, RCT is a painless procedure. Once the infected pulp is removed, pain is immediately relieved. Local anesthesia ensures patient comfort during the procedure, and any post-treatment discomfort can be managed with analgesics.

Aftercare Tips for RCT-Treated Teeth

What You Should Do:

– Have a crown placed on the treated tooth to withstand biting forces and prevent fractures.

What You Should Avoid:

– Refrain from eating or chewing hard foods on the treated tooth to avoid damaging the filling or tooth structure.

Alternatives to RCT

If RCT is not performed, the only alternative is tooth extraction, which can be followed by:

– Placement of a bridge.
– Dental implants.
– Partial dentures.

These options are typically more expensive and time-consuming than preserving the natural tooth through RCT.
