Root canal procedure involves removing d infected nerve f d tooth..cleaning and shaping canals ,so dat it can receive a biocompatible nerve like material...which seals d canal...d tooth is reduced in dimension t recieve a crown...

It will save your tooth. Otherwise extraction would be required.

At first plz get the intraoral x-ray done to decide if the cavity has gone beyond the living part of tooth called pulp or nerve ,if it has,then get the RCT done.RCT is done mainly in steps.In first visit doctor will make a hole in the tooth to access the pulp after he Will insert some kind of pins called files in the pulp to remove it then after complete removal he will use some chemicals like 2or 5% sodium hypochloride and normal saline to rinse ur tooth pulp thoroughly.in the next visit doctor will once again clean it thoroughly and after that he will fill up the space with a material called gutta percha,then he will fill the hole created in first visit with appropriate cement followed by a crown or cap fabrication on the top of ur tooth to make it strong as it was earlier . Regards!

RCT is completely painless procedure to cure your infection inside the tooth. Its a single visit or multivisit procedure depending upon your tooth condition. Simply it can save the tooth and its functions inside the mouth

Please trust the dentist for his opinion because he is the one who has performed the clinical evaluation of the case. Root canal treatment is a procedure which makes it possible for us to save even some of the badly damaged teeth and avoid their extraction. Regards.
