FAQs
FAQs – Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
1. What is a Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth. The canals are then cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection.
2. Is Root Canal Treatment painful?
No, modern RCT is virtually painless because it is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients compare it to getting a regular filling.
3. How do I know if I need an RCT?
You may need an RCT if you experience:
Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to hot/cold
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
Darkened tooth color
A recurring pimple on the gums (dental abscess)
4. How many visits does an RCT take?
Usually, one to two visits are required. In some complex cases, an additional session may be needed.
5. What happens after an RCT?
After an RCT, the tooth becomes weak and usually needs a dental crown for protection and strength.

If proper oral hygiene is maintained and the tooth is restored with a crown, the chances of re-infection are very low.
7. What are the alternatives to an RCT?
