Signs that Root Canal Therapy Is Necessary

When your tooth is chipped or cracked or it is painful when chewing or to heat or cold, you may need RCT. In addition, your gum tissue may be tender or swollen, or it is darker than neighboring teeth.

What Is The RCT Process?

During root canal treatment, we carefully remove the infected pulp, or inner portion of your tooth. If the roots are also affected, the dentist treat those as well.

Once the area is cleaned and disinfected, the tooth is sealed.
