Root canal therapy is done after your teeth' complete development and growth. Root canal therapy treats almost 14 to 15 million teeth every year. RCT is one of the types of endodontic treatments, which means "inside the tooth."
The pulp under the crown of the teeth has blood vessels and nerves to supply the blood to the tooth. It is more prone to get infected than other layers of the tooth. During root canal therapy, the pulp is thoroughly cleaned and filled with a non-dangerous material to avoid the pain and cavities caused by infections.
How Much Does A Root Canal Cost?
The cost of a root canal depends upon the number of teeth and type of teeth. Molars cost more than the anterior ones. Sometimes the initial procedures like medication, anesthesia, and X-rays are included in the total cost, which costs more than the shown or written price of the root canal only.
