Pain-Free Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
A severe toothache is often a sign that decay has reached the soft inner tissue of your tooth, known as the pulp. Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a highly successful procedure designed to remove this infected pulp, clean and sterilize the canals, and seal the tooth to save it from extraction.
At One Smile Dental Care, we utilize advanced rotary systems and digital apex locators, allowing us to perform root canals with absolute precision, speed, and maximum comfort.
Warning Signs of a Pulp Infection:
- Constant, throbbing toothache that worsens when lying down.
- Sharp pain when biting down or chewing.
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks.
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums surrounding the tooth.
- Discoloration or darkening of the affected tooth.
- A recurring pimple-like bump on the gum (fistula).
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, in almost all cases. A root canal removes the tooth's blood supply, making it brittle and prone to fracturing. A custom crown restores its strength and protects it from breaking.
