Root Canal Treatment

Say the word-“Root Canal Treatment” or RCT and most patients pale a couple of shades. The idea of pain/discomfort of an RCT is so prevalent that hardly anyone is willing to undergo the procedure without a great deal of coaxing.

But that’s a thing of the past. With the advent of latest anaesthetic agents (medicine used to numb the area), root canal treatment is done with minimum or no pain at all.

Moreover, an RCT is life saving– for your tooth of course. Basically an RCT allows you to retain a tooth in your mouth and serve you for a good many more years. The only other alternative to treating a tooth indicated for an RCT is to remove (extract) it.

Many patients think (erroneously) that removing a tooth is the easy and cheaper way out. However, not only are they wrong about it being the shortcut, it generally turns out to be more expensive too.

A natural tooth is a natural tooth. Ask anyone who has had to live with artificial teeth. Therefore, every extra bit of effort that is taken to save a natural tooth is worth it. If your tooth is indicated for an RCT- get it done today.
