What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment — also known as RCT or endodontic therapy — is a dental procedure performed to treat infection or damage inside a tooth.
Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called pulp, containing blood vessels, nerves, tissue fibers. When this pulp gets infected due to deep cavity, fracture, trauma, or repeated dental treatments, it causes pain, swelling, and abscess.
If you are suffering from severe tooth pain, sensitivity, infection, or your dentist has advised Root Canal Treatment (RCT) — you are at the right place.

Root Canal removes this infected pulp → cleans the inner root canal → disinfects → fills → seals → and restores the tooth with a filling or crown, making it function normally again.

How root canal is done? Step-by-Step Root Canal Procedure at Sanjivni Dental Hospital
Dentist will take x-ray to evaluate progression on caries and infection and confirm whether you need a root canal or other procedure like filing or tooth removal. Root canal treatment is generally carried out under local anesthesia in 2-3 appointments,
However, single sitting root canal treatments can also be performed in some cases. It mainly involves the following steps in rct:
Step- 1 anesthesia and decay removal
After administering local anesthetic solution, the tooth is anesthetized. Once tooth is completely numb (anesthetized)with help of rubber dam teeth required treatment is isolate so you will not fill any bitter taste of medical solution and keep the area infection free. Now we start with removing of carious part with high speed air-rotor.
Step- 2 cleaning of root canal space
Now we removes the infected pulp and unhealthy tissue from the canals of tooth using special instruments called files. Once the cleaning is done, disinfection of the canal space is performed to eliminate the bacteria present in the root canal system. This is done using various medicated disinfectant solutions.
Step- 3 filling the root canal space
Once the canal space has been cleaned and disinfected, it’s time to seal the space with a filling material. This helps to keep the canals free of infection or contamination. The tooth is filled with a material called gutta-percha, using an adhesive sealer to seal the canals completely.
Step- 4 Filling
An empty space cause by tooth decay cleaning is filled using a permanent strong filling material. We use composite resin filling material which is stronger and more durable than dental cement.
Step- 5 Crowning the tooth
The procedure of root canal makes the tooth lose some amount of mineral content making it brittle and prone to fractures. So, it needs to be reinforced with some extra protection through a crown. Placing a Dental crown on a root canal treated tooth not only helps maintain the integrity of the tooth but also provides an additional seal to keep infection away.
It is important that endodontically treated tooth should be protected with crowns/onlay to prevent fracture and to restore their appearance. Usually front teeth does not required cap if healthy tooth structure has enough volume, However, discolored root canal treated teeth need to be crowned.

Alternatives to a Root Canal
If you think Root Canal Treatment vs tooth removal – Which Is Better?
Saving natural teeth is the best option to get rid of pain and infection of tooth. Natural teeth allow you to eat a wide variety of foods providing the necessary nutrition needed for a healthy body.
Feature | Root Canal | Tooth Extraction |
Tooth preserved | ✔ | ✘ |
Cost-effective long term | ✔ | ✘ |
Maintains jaw bone | ✔ | ✘ |
No gap or space | ✔ | ✘ |
Natural chewing ability | ✔ | ✘ |
Unless absolutely necessary, saving a natural tooth is always the best option.
Taking Medicine will help only for short time and after certain period you will face same problems.
The only alternative to a root canal procedure is having the tooth extracted and replaced with a bridge, implant or a removable partial denture to restore chewing function and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting. These alternatives not only are more expensive than a root canal procedure but also require more treatment time and additional procedures on adjacent teeth and supporting tissues.
