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

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

  • 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

The Root Canal Procedure

Diagnosis

Digital X-rays and examination to confirm infection.

Anesthesia

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.

Filling

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

Restoration

A dental crown is usually placed to protect the treated tooth.

Myths vs. Facts About RCT

  • Myth: Root canals are painful.
    Fact: With modern techniques and anesthesia, the procedure is virtually painless.

  • Myth: Extraction is better than RCT.
    Fact: Saving your natural tooth with RCT is healthier and more cost-effective in the long run.

  • Myth: Root canals take many appointments.
    Fact: Many cases are completed in 1–2 visits at Fab Dental.

Recovery & Aftercare Tips

  • Mild discomfort for 1–2 days is normal; painkillers may be prescribed.

  • Avoid chewing on the treated side until the crown is placed.

  • Maintain oral hygiene with brushing and flossing.

  • Attend follow-up visits for crown placement and monitoring.

Cost of Root Canal Treatment

The cost of an RCT depends on:

  • The tooth treated (front teeth are simpler than molars)

  • The extent of infection

  • Need for additional procedures (like re-treatment or crown placement)

At Fab Dental, we provide affordable RCT packages with flexible payment options to ensure you save your teeth without financial stress.
