From the inside, RCT cleans and disinfects the tooth canal. The canals are then plugged to avoid recurrence of the infection. Extraction is an alternative to RCT. Signs that you may require an RCT include:

• Pain ranging from mild to severe

• Discoloration of teeth

• Swelling and inflammation of the gum tissue around the tooth

• Infection signs apparent on an x-ray
