FAQs
Tooth pain caused by infection or damage inside the tooth can be unbearable. Instead of extracting the tooth, Root Canal Therapy (RCT) allows you to save your natural tooth while eliminating pain and infection. At Fab Dental, we specialize in painless and advanced root canal procedures to restore your oral health quickly and comfortably.
A root canal is a dental procedure that removes the infected or damaged pulp (nerve) inside the tooth. The tooth is then cleaned, disinfected, and sealed with a filling or crown. This helps preserve the natural tooth structure while preventing further infection.
You may need an RCT if you have:
Severe toothache while chewing or biting
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
Tooth discoloration (darkening of the tooth)
Abscess or pus formation near the tooth
Deep decay or damage extending to the pulp
Relieves severe tooth pain
Stops infection from spreading
Saves natural tooth from extraction
Restores normal chewing and biting
Maintains natural smile and jaw alignment
Long-lasting results with proper care
Digital X-rays and examination to confirm infection.
Local anesthesia ensures a pain-free procedure.
A small opening is made to reach the pulp.
Infected pulp and bacteria are removed, and canals are cleaned.
The canals are sealed with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha).
A dental crown is usually placed to protect the treated tooth.
