Introduction to Root Canal Therapy
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.
What Is Root Canal Treatment (RCT)?
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.
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
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

Local anesthesia ensures a pain-free procedure.
Access Opening
A small opening is made to reach the pulp.
Cleaning & Shaping
Infected pulp and bacteria are removed, and canals are cleaned.
