What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to treat infection inside a tooth. It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals and sealing the tooth to prevent re-infection.
Modern root canal treatment at Sethu Dental Care is completely painless thanks to effective anaesthesia and advanced rotary instruments. Dr. Preethi's gentle technique ensures a comfortable experience while saving your natural tooth — far better than extraction.

The infected pulp tissue is carefully removed from inside the tooth.
Root canals are cleaned, shaped and disinfected using rotary instruments.
