What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. It involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.
Root Canal Treatment can help relieve persistent tooth pain, protect the affected tooth, and avoid the need for tooth extraction when the tooth can be preserved.
At KK Swara Super Speciality Hospital in Boduppal, patients can receive comprehensive dental evaluation and personalized treatment based on the condition of the affected tooth.

How is Root Canal Treatment Performed?
Root canal treatment is planned according to the condition of the affected tooth and may involve several steps.
Dental Examination & Diagnosis
The dentist examines the affected tooth and may use dental X-rays or other appropriate investigations to determine the extent of infection or damage.
Removal of Infected Pulp
The infected or inflamed pulp tissue is carefully removed from inside the tooth.
Cleaning & Disinfection
The root canals are cleaned and disinfected to remove bacteria and infected material.
Filling & Sealing
The cleaned canals are filled and sealed to help prevent bacteria from entering the tooth again.
