Root Canal Treatment

What is a root canal?

Root canal treatment, in today’s date, saves a lot of damaged teeth that could ideally have been lost post decay and injuries. In a root canal treatment, the damaged or diseased pulp is cautiously removed and the remaining space is then cleaned, reshaped and filled in. With the help of this procedure, the root canal of the damaged tooth can be sealed off and protected very effectively.

We ensure that our specialized team of doctors leave no spot unexamined, diagnose the problem and its root cause and only then come up with a conclusive procedure that fits the patient and his condition. With our enhanced instruments, we guarantee the best and the most accurate checkups for any decay in the tooth, along with a root canal consultation.

Due to severe decay, repeated procedures and surgeries or even cracks in the tooth, teeth can often become damaged or infected. If you are facing any swelling or tenderness in your gums, constant painful sensations, tooth discoloration or even prolonged sensitivity then you might need to consult a doctor regarding the root canal procedure.

  • Injuries to the tooth
  • Unforeseen accident like a severe blow to one’s tooth or a fall
  • Cavity in a tooth, decay due to eating habits or lack of hygiene and cleanliness.
