Root Canal Treatment

Save your natural teeth with painless precision

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment (RCT), also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure to save a severely infected or damaged tooth. The treatment involves removing infected pulp tissue from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the canal, and sealing it to prevent future infection.

At Avana Dental, our endodontic specialists perform root canal treatments using advanced rotary instruments and apex locators, ensuring precise, efficient, and comfortable procedures.

Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment

Severe toothache, especially when chewing or applying pressure

Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures

Darkening or discoloration of the tooth

Swelling or tenderness in nearby gums

Persistent pimple on the gums (abscess)

Deep decay or repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
