Root Canal Treatment(RCT)
Root canal or endodontic treatment—treatment done to the inside of the tooth—is necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes: deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, faulty crowns, or a crack or chip in the tooth. In addition, trauma to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess. Also the preparation of the cavity is not conservative as some mechanical preparations of retention need to be followed . We recommend white composite fillings which blend in with your natural teeth and are more aesthetic. These fillings are mercury free. The cavity preparation for composite fillings is more conservative as compared to silver amalgam, as we just grind the tooth where it is required ie the decayed portion..
