What is Single Sitting Root Canal Treatment? – Single Sitting RCT Noida

Our teeth comprise three layers, and the innermost layer is called the pulp. The tooth’s pulp contains the nerves and blood vessels that carry the pain sensation from the tooth. The most common cause of tooth damage is tooth decay; once the damage reaches the pulp, it causes immense pain. The infection can spread from the pulp to the surrounding areas of the tooth and damage the bone around the tooth. To prevent this spread and save the tooth, root canal treatment eliminates the source of infection. There are broadly two types of root canal procedures depending on the number of visits required for its completion. 

The whole process is done under the effect of local anesthesia. Our Complete Dental Solutions Noida specialists perform all kinds of root canal procedures. Each tooth is unique, and every case is different. Getting your clinical examination at Complete Dental Solutions Noida is the best way to determine your eligibility for a single-visit RCT.
