Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from the interior of a tooth, cleans and shapes the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent reinfection. Modern root canal treatment is virtually painless thanks to advanced anesthetics and techniques, contrary to its reputation.

This treatment is necessary when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or a crack or chip. Without treatment, the infection can spread to surrounding bone and tissue. RCT saves the natural tooth, eliminating extraction and preserving your natural bite.

At Mihira Aesthetics, our endodontic specialists use rotary instruments and apex locators for efficient, precise canal cleaning. A dental crown is typically placed over the treated tooth afterward to provide strength and protection. Most patients return to normal activities the very next day.
