Root Canal Treatment in
Greater Kailash
Root canal treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure that saves severely decayed or infected teeth from extraction. Instead of removing the tooth, the infected pulp inside is carefully cleaned, disinfected, and sealed, allowing you to keep your natural tooth intact.
With modern technology and advanced anesthesia, root canal treatment is now virtually painless and highly effective—helping restore both function and comfort while maintaining your natural smile.

FAQs
Why Might You Need a Root Canal?
A root canal may be necessary if the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to:
- Deep cavities or decay
- Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
- Cracks, chips, or injury to the tooth
Without treatment, infection can spread, causing severe pain, abscesses, or even tooth loss.
How Does Root Canal Treatment Work?
- Local anesthesia is given to ensure comfort.
- The infected pulp and bacteria are removed from inside the tooth.
- The canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed with a special filling.
- A dental crown may be placed afterward for strength and durability.
This process preserves your natural tooth and eliminates pain.
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
Thanks to modern anesthesia and advanced techniques, RCT is now a virtually painless procedure. Most patients experience significant relief from pain and infection once treatment is complete.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for RCT?
You may need a root canal if you experience:
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity (especially to hot/cold)
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums near a tooth
- Tooth discoloration
- Severe decay visible on X-rays
Only a dentist can confirm the need for RCT after a proper evaluation.
How Long Does a Root Canal Last?
With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential, along with protecting the tooth with a crown if advised.
