Root Canal Treatment

Description:

Save Your Natural Tooth. Relieve Pain. Restore Your Smile.

Root Canal Treatment is a safe and effective procedure used to treat infection inside the tooth and preserve your natural tooth structure. At Horizon Dental Clinic, we perform painless, advanced RCT with modern technology to ensure maximum comfort and long-lasting results.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Inside every tooth, there is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes infected due to decay, trauma, or cracks, it can cause severe pain and swelling.

Root Canal Treatment involves:

  • Removing the infected pulp

  • Cleaning and disinfecting the root canals

  • Filling and sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection

Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment

  • Severe tooth pain (especially while chewing)

  • Sensitivity to hot or cold (lingering pain)

  • Swelling in gums or face

  • Darkening (discoloration) of the tooth

  • Pimple-like swelling (abscess) on gums

Step-by-Step Root Canal Procedure

1. Diagnosis & X-ray

We examine the tooth and take digital X-rays to assess the infection and plan treatment.

2. Local Anesthesia

The area is numbed to ensure a completely pain-free procedure.

3. Cleaning the Infection

The infected pulp is removed, and the root canals are cleaned using advanced rotary instruments.

4. Disinfection & Shaping

The canals are shaped and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.

5. Filling the Canals

The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha).

6. Crown Placement

A dental crown is usually placed to restore strength, function, and prevent fracture.

Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?

No. With modern techniques and anesthesia, RCT is virtually painless — similar to getting a filling. In fact, it helps relieve the pain caused by infection.
