Will RCT involve removing the teeth?
I have a hole between two upper teeth. I was told to go for RCT treatment. I wish to know if the treatment will result in removing the paining teeth.

Nope. RCT will remove pain and retain the tooth. Helps you use the tooth minus infection and pain. Be informed about how that happens. Make an x ray and get your tooth saved and pain relieved.

RCT or Root canal treatment does not involve removal of painful teeth. RCT removes the infected tissues in the tooth and followed by filling the affected tooth.
Next Steps
please visit your dentist for further treatment.
