Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
Painless single-visit root canal therapy using precision rotary instruments and digital apex locators.
About This Procedure
When dental decay penetrates the outer enamel and reaches the inner pulp, it causes severe pain and bacterial infection. A Root Canal Treatment (RCT) removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals them with biocompatible gutta-percha. Led by Dr. Mythri Reddy (MDS Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics), we specialize in virtually pain-free, single-sitting root canal treatments.
When Do You Need This Treatment?
- Severe, throbbing toothache especially while chewing or lying down
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold foods and liquids
- Swelling or a small pimple on the gums near the infected tooth
- Deep discoloration or darkening of the affected tooth
- Cracked, fractured, or deeply decayed tooth
Step-by-Step Treatment Process
1. Digital X-Ray & Local Anesthesia
High-resolution digital radiography to map root anatomy, followed by gentle computerized local numbing.
2. Pulp Cleaning & Decontamination
Accessing the pulp chamber and cleaning infected nerve tissue using automated rotary files.
3. Canal Sterilization & Shaping
Irrigation with antibacterial solutions to ensure 100% disinfection of microscopic canal walls.
4. 3D Biocompatible Sealing & Crown
Hermetically sealing canals with gutta-percha and placing a durable ceramic or zirconia crown for full biting strength.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a root canal painful?
With modern local anesthesia and rotary endodontics, a root canal is no more painful than getting a routine dental filling.
Is a crown compulsory after a root canal?
Yes, a root-canal treated tooth becomes brittle over time. A crown protects it from fracturing under chewing pressure and ensures long-term longevity.
