Revitalize Your Smile with Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure designed to save and repair a tooth that is severely decayed or infected. At Dr. Balaji Dental Hospital & Medical Centre, we offer state-of-the-art root canal therapy performed by our skilled and compassionate dental professionals.
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, involves the removal of infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth. This pulp, consisting of nerves and blood vessels, can become infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. If left untreated, the infection can spread, leading to abscess formation and severe pain.
Procedure For Root Canal Treatment
Diagnosis and Preparation: Our dentist will first conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the infection and determine the necessity of a root canal.
Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected area.
Pulp Removal: A small access hole is created in the tooth, and the infected pulp is carefully removed using specialized instruments.
Cleaning and Disinfection: The interior of the tooth is meticulously cleaned and disinfected to eliminate any remaining bacteria and prevent further infection.
Filling and Sealing: The cleaned root canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and sealed to prevent recontamination.
Restoration: Finally, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling to protect it and restore its function and appearance.

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure used to treat and save a tooth that is infected or severely decayed. The treatment involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the tooth’s interior, and then filling and sealing it.
You may need a root canal treatment if you have a tooth that is severely infected, decayed, or damaged. Symptoms indicating the need for a root canal include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, tenderness, and discoloration of the tooth.
Root canal treatment is performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the affected area, ensuring a pain-free experience. Most patients report that the procedure is no more painful than getting a regular filling.
