Root Canal Treatment

A Root Canal Treatment, also referred to as RCT, or endodontic treatment is the best treatment for repairing the damaged inside of a tooth, called the pulp.

This pulp is a soft tissue that is present beneath the white enamel and dentin inside the tooth. It contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue, which assist the root of your tooth’s growth during its development. However, when the pulp gets inflamed or infected due to faulty crowns, deep decay, multiple dental procedures, a crack or chip in the tooth, it causes pain and leads to infection.

A root canal treatment treats the damaged tooth by removing the inflamed pulp, relieving pain and making the teeth healthy again. The relatively painless and effective treatment helps maintain your smile, eat all types of food, and minimises the need for any ongoing dental work. It is a very effective and painless treatment that can get you back to smiling, biting and chewing the food you love with ease in no time.

Delivering a successful root canal treatment to a patient requires a dentist to be precise and focus on every detail. At Dr. Kathuria’s Dentistry, we believe in offering the best to our clients through effective and affordable treatments. As a leading root canal treatment specialist in Delhi, we have the tools, expertise and infrastructure of TRAINED ENDODONTISTS (RCT Specialist) to deliver unparalleled results for all dental treatments.

When is Root Canal Treatment Required?

A crack, break or cavity in a tooth can make it more susceptible to sticking of food particles. The presence of sticky food particles on the tooth and the exposed tooth portion invites various bacterias to act on it. This cavity, if not treated, can lead to further sticking of food on the damaged tooth, developing a deeper cavity- which leads to exposing the pulp or nerve tissue.

Once this pulp is damaged or exposed, it breaks down. This further accelerates the growth of bacteria in the pulp chamber, causing an infection or abscessed tooth. An abscess refers to a pocket filled with pus that forms at the end of the tooth’s roots. Therefore, people who experience severe pain due to this pus and pain require a root canal treatment.
