Root Canal Treatment
When a tooth is badly decayed or becomes infected, the damage can lead to inflammation in the pulp of the tooth that can have serious impact upon a patients quality of life. Although the thought of a root canal strikes fear in the hearts of people, the procedure can help rescue a tooth that would otherwise need to be removed. It also leads to freedom from discomfort that allows patients to enjoy their life to the fullest.
Root canal treatment often are successful at preserving natural teeth and sparing patients the cost of dentures, implants and bridges. In addition, having a root canal can prevent bacteria from an infected tooth from spreading to the jaw, where it can cause even more pain and additional problems.
Once the RCT is completed you are required to get a Crown done on the tooth.
