There is a moment many of us recognise \u2014 a dull throb that becomes a sharp, stinging pain, a sensitivity to heat or cold that lingers a little too long, a discomfort that painkillers quiet but never quite resolve. That is your tooth asking for help. A Root Canal Treatment \u2014 RCT \u2014 is often the answer.
