A root canal removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, cleans and seals the canals, and lets you keep your natural tooth instead of losing it. At Baghel's Dental World most root canals are completed in a single sitting.
When you might need it
- Lingering pain with hot or cold
- Pain when biting or chewing
- Swelling or a pimple on the gum
- A deep cavity or a cracked tooth
What to expect
- X-ray and diagnosis
- Local anaesthesia, so the procedure itself is comfortable
- Canals cleaned, shaped and sealed
- A crown (cap) is usually advised afterwards to protect the tooth
Every case is different. Your dentist will examine you, explain the options and give an estimate before treatment starts.
