Root Canal Therapy

What is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a dental treatment used to save a tooth that is badly infected or decayed. Inside each tooth is soft tissue called pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes infected, it can cause severe pain, swelling, and sensitivity. A root canal removes the infected pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further infection. This treatment not only relieves pain but also preserves your natural tooth, helping you maintain normal chewing, appearance, and overall oral health.

Gentle Root Canal Care at Our Clinic

At Shah Dental Clinic, we perform root canal treatments with advanced techniques that make the procedure safe, effective, and comfortable. Our skilled dentists carefully remove the infection and restore the tooth using high-quality materials for long-lasting strength. We focus on making the treatment virtually painless with modern anesthesia and a gentle approach.

After the procedure, the tooth is usually protected with a crown to ensure durability. By choosing us, you can expect expert care that relieves discomfort, saves your tooth, and restores your confident smile.

How do I know if I need this procedure?

You might not notice an infected tooth at first, but root canal symptoms might include:

A pimple or boil on your gums that may ooze pus
A swollen jaw from a trapped infection
Darkened tooth color
Loose tooth from infection weakening nearby bone
Pain that spreads to your jaw, face or nearby teeth
Pain when chewing or touching the tooth
Tender or swollen gums

If you have root canal pain, don’t wait. Treatment can relieve pain, save your tooth and prevent the infection from spreading. Your dentist can help you decide if it’s the right option for you.

How should I prepare for root canal treatment?

Before treatment, your provider will examine your tooth with X-rays and other tests to confirm the infection. They may:

Ask if it hurts when you bite down
Check for swelling in your gums or bone
Gently tap your tooth or apply hot/cold to check sensitivity
Use an electric pulp test (EPT) to see if the pulp is alive

What happens during a root canal procedure?

Your dentist or endodontist will:

Numb the area with anaesthesia (if you’re nervous, you may get medication to help you relax, and you might be drowsy after)
Place cotton or a dental dam to keep the area clean and dry during the procedure
Create a small hole in your tooth’s crown to reach the pulp
Remove the infected pulp using tiny tools
Clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth
Fill the empty space with a rubbery dental material (gutta-percha)
Seal the tooth with a temporary filling
Place a permanent crown (usually at a later visit) to protect your tooth and restore your bite

Most root canals take about 60 to 90 minutes. Some may require more than one visit.
