Unpack everything about modern painless RCT, why it is the best way to save infected teeth, and what recovery feels like.
Few dental procedures carry as many unfounded fears as the Root Canal Treatment (RCT). In reality, modern anesthetics and computerized rotary technology make modern RCT virtually painless — feeling no different from getting a standard filling.
Why is RCT Needed?
When bacterial decay penetrates deep into the pulp chamber, the living nerves and blood vessels become inflamed or infected. An RCT gently cleans and sanitizes these microscopic canals, seals them with biocompatible gutta-percha, and preserves your natural root foundation.
