Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment)

Endodontic therapy is commonly referred as Root Canal Therapy (RCT). It is a sequence of treatment for the pulp of a tooth which has been infected over a period of time. It involves the elimination of infection and protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion. The procedure consists of cleaning, shaping and decontamination of the infected pulp chamber inside the tooth with the use of tiny instruments and irrigating solutions and the filling of the decontaminated root canals with an inert filling. The surgery is almost painless as it is done under local anesthesia. After the surgery the tooth will be “dead” and painless. It generally requires more than one visit. However, we also perform single-sitting Root Canal Therapy in certain cases.
