Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure aimed at saving a tooth that is severely decayed or infected. During an RCT, the dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and then fills and seals the space. This prevents further infection and helps restore the tooth’s functionality. RCT helps relieve pain and discomfort associated with tooth infection or decay while preserving the natural tooth.
