Root Canal Treatment
A root canal procedure is well-known and equally dreaded. Most of us know about it and are scared of it as well.
As scary as it seems, a root canal procedure is actually a painless process thanks to use of local anesthetics, which numb the pain. In a root canal treatment, the tooth pulp that gets infected is removed and treated by a bio-compatible root filling. This pulp is the live portion of the tooth that goes all the way to the root and has nerve endings and blood vessels; it hence causes a great deal of pain and discomfort when infected. The root canal treatment involves numbing the infected tooth with anesthesia, removing the infected pulp and root, bio-compatible filling in the root and crown and capping the tooth.
Root canal therapy is very effective and important for preserving infected teeth and retaining their normal function as well. The cost of a root canal and crown treatment varies depending on the extent of the problem. Consult our dentists for complete information about the RCT procedure.
