What is RCT? – Root Canal Treatment in Bharuch

Our teeth are made up of three layers. The innermost layer is called the pulp, which contains the nerves and blood vessels of the teeth. When tooth decay starts, it invades the first layer and slowly progresses toward the pulp. Once the decay reaches the pulp, it causes infection and immense pain in the tooth. Root canal treatment, or RCT, removes that infected pulp and fills the tooth with medicated material to save it from extraction. 

Our chief dentist Dr. Dharmendra Sindha at Sindha Dental Clinic, Bharuch, ensures that the complete process is done with utmost care and attention given to the stringent sterilization protocols of international standards.
