Root Canal
A Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to save a tooth that is badly decayed, infected, or damaged. Instead of removing the tooth, the dentist carefully removes the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth), cleans and disinfects the canals, and seals them with a special filling. Finally, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling for strength and protection.
