It’s a treatment that may have a bad reputation, but really shouldn’t…
Root Canal Therapy (RCT) is a treatment that many patients fear and in retrospect of conventional methods we can certainly see why. However, with the advancement of dental technology, at Orchard Dental we are able to conduct RCT more efficiently than ever.
At Orchard Dental we perform root canal therapy to save your tooth…
When the nerve of a tooth becomes infected and damaged, the body simply does not have the means to heal itself. Without RCT, the only solution would be to extract the tooth. RCT allows relief of pain and infection, and preserves your tooth.
RCT at Orchard Dental is virtually painless as we first numb the tooth to ensure there is no sensation. We then carefully remove the infected nerve tissue, disinfect the tooth canals and then fill the treated tooth. We perform RCT in stages with relief of pain soon after the first stage.
