Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely decayed, infected, or damaged. Instead of extracting the tooth, Dr. Sukhvinder Bindra carefully removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals the tooth to restore its function and appearance. This treatment allows you to maintain your natural tooth while relieving pain and preventing further infection.
When is Root Canal Treatment Needed?
Root canal therapy is typically recommended when:
A tooth has deep decay reaching the pulp
There is severe tooth pain or sensitivity
Swelling or infection is present around the tooth
Trauma or injury has damaged the tooth’s nerve
