What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root Canal Treatment (also known as RCT or endodontic therapy) is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage to the pulp of a tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. If this area becomes infected due to deep decay, injury, or repeated dental procedures, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth.

At Dentotsav Dental Clinic, our experienced team of dentists uses the latest technology and techniques to provide gentle and effective root canal treatments, helping you keep your natural teeth for years to come.
