Tooth pain can be distressing and disruptive, often affecting your ability to eat, sleep, and focus on daily life. At Dr. Shivani’s Dental & Aesthetic, we offer advanced and gentle root canal treatment to relieve pain, eliminate infection, and save your natural tooth whenever possible.

A root canal is not something to fear. With modern techniques, precise diagnosis, and proper anesthesia, the procedure is comfortable and highly effective—allowing you to return to normal life quickly and pain-free.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment (RCT) is performed when the inner soft tissue of a tooth, known as the pulp, becomes infected or inflamed. This can happen due to deep cavities, cracks, trauma, repeated dental procedures, or long-standing decay.

During the procedure, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the space is sealed to prevent reinfection. The tooth is then restored with a filling or crown to regain strength and function.

When Do You Need a Root Canal?

You may require root canal treatment if you experience:

• Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
• Pain while chewing or biting
• Swelling or tenderness in the gums
• Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
• A pimple-like swelling near the tooth (abscess)

In some cases, infection may exist without noticeable pain, which is why regular dental checkups are important for early detection.

The Root Canal Procedure – Step by Step

At Dr. Shivani’s Dental & Aesthetic, every root canal is performed with precision and care:

1. Detailed Examination & Diagnosis
   We begin with a thorough clinical evaluation and digital X-rays to identify the extent of infection and the tooth’s anatomy.
2. Pain-Free Treatment
   Local anesthesia is used to ensure complete comfort during the procedure. Most patients report that a root canal feels similar to getting a regular filling.
3. Cleaning & Disinfection
   The infected pulp is removed, and the root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
4. Sealing the Tooth
   The canals are filled and sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent future infection.
5. Final Restoration
   A crown is often recommended after root canal treatment to protect the tooth and restore its full strength and appearance.

Re-Root Canal Treatment

If a previously treated tooth becomes reinfected due to leakage, missed canals, or crown failure, re-root canal treatmentmay be needed. Dr. Shivani has extensive experience in managing complex re-RCT cases, helping save teeth that might otherwise require extraction.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

• Immediate relief from dental pain
• Elimination of infection
• Preservation of your natural tooth
• Restoration of chewing function
• Prevention of tooth loss and jawbone damage

Saving your natural tooth is always preferable to extraction, and root canal treatment plays a vital role in achieving that.

Is Root Canal Treatment Safe?

Root canal treatment is a well-established, safe, and effective dental procedure with a high success rate. At our clinic, we follow strict sterilization protocols, use modern instruments, and apply evidence-based techniques to ensure accurate and predictable outcomes.

Aftercare & Recovery

Most patients can resume normal activities the same day or the next day. Mild sensitivity may occur for a few days, which is manageable with prescribed medication. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending follow-up visits ensures long-term success.
