Gentle Relief from Severe Tooth Decay & Infection
A Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a routine, highly effective dental procedure designed to remove bacteria, infected pulp, and nerve tissue from inside a diseased or cracked tooth. Once thoroughly disinfected, the canal is sealed with biocompatible material and reinforced with a protective crown.
Under the experienced care of Dr. Pooja K Shah (17+ years clinical experience), modern rotatory endodontic tools and precision electronic apex locators ensure that your root canal is fast, quiet, and as comfortable as a regular filling.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, schedule an immediate consultation to prevent the infection from spreading:
Severe Toothache
Throbbing or continuous pain while chewing or biting down.
Lingering Sensitivity
Sharp pain persisting long after consuming hot coffee or ice water.
Swollen or Tender Gums
Swelling, redness, or a small pimple-like boil near the affected tooth.
Discoloration of Tooth
Darkening or grayish shade caused by deep internal nerve necrosis.
How We Perform Your Root Canal
Digital Diagnosis & Painless Anesthesia
High-resolution digital RVG X-ray maps the root canal anatomy. Gentle, targeted local anesthesia numbs the area completely.
Infection Removal & Rotary Shaping
Using flexible nickel-titanium rotary files, Dr. Pooja delicately cleans infected pulp and cleanses the canals with antibacterial irrigants.
Hermetic Biocompatible Sealing
Canals are filled and sealed with gutta-percha to permanently prevent future bacterial re-entry and infection.
Restorative Crown / Cap Placement
A custom-shaded Zirconia or Ceramic crown is bonded to restore the tooth's structural strength, bite force, and natural beauty.
Frequently Asked Questions on RCT
Is root canal treatment really painful?
No! Modern local anesthesia ensures that you feel zero pain during the procedure. Root canal treatment actually eliminates the agonizing pain caused by infected dental pulp.
Can a root canal be completed in a single visit?
Yes, in most non-complex infections, Dr. Pooja K Shah performs single-sitting root canals within 45 to 60 minutes. Highly infected cases may require a second visit for thorough medication.
Why is putting a crown (cap) necessary after RCT?
After nerve removal, a tooth loses moisture and becomes brittle. A custom ceramic or zirconia crown protects the tooth from cracking under normal chewing forces, ensuring it lasts for decades.
