Root Canal Treatment: Save Your Tooth, End the Pain.
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a modern, predictable procedure designed to do one critical thing: save your natural tooth from severe pain and infection.

Why Choose Deekshu Dental? We utilize cutting-edge technology to ensure the procedure is done with maximum precision and minimum discomfort. Don’t fear the procedure—fear losing your tooth!

How Root Canal Treatment is Performed

At Deekshu Dental Clinic, our Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is led by an experienced Endodontist – a specialist dedicated to this precise procedure. We use modern protocols and advanced technology to transform this treatment into a smooth, comfortable, and highly successful experience.

We understand that root canals can cause anxiety, but modern endodontics means this procedure is focused entirely on eliminating the source of your pain.

Here is the detailed process we follow to save your tooth:

Digital Imaging: We begin with high-resolution digital X-rays and, if necessary, 3D imaging to precisely map the anatomy of your root canals. This level of detail ensures no canal is missed.

Anesthesia: Your comfort is our priority. We administer advanced local anesthesia, guaranteeing that you will be completely numb and pain-free throughout the entire procedure.

Dental Dam Isolation: A crucial step for success! We use a rubber dam to isolate the treated tooth, keeping the area sterile, dry, and free from saliva, which is vital for preventing re-infection.

Micro-Access Opening: A tiny, conservative access point is created on the chewing surface of the tooth, allowing our Endodontist to meticulously reach the inner pulp chamber.

Microscopic Precision: Using specialized rotary and reciprocating instruments, the infected and inflamed pulp tissue is delicately removed from the root canals.

Electronic Measurement: We employ modern Apex Locators to accurately measure the length of the root canals, ensuring the cleaning and filling are done precisely to the tip of the root.

Thorough Disinfection: The canals are flushed thoroughly with powerful disinfecting solutions (Irrigation) to eliminate all bacteria and debris, setting the stage for long-term health.

3D Sealing: Once clean, the canals are filled and sealed using Gutta-percha (a biocompatible material) and specialized sealers. This hermetic seal prevents bacteria from re-entering.

Temporary/Permanent Filling: The access opening is sealed with a strong filling material to protect the tooth immediately.

Crown Placement: Because a tooth treated with RCT can become brittle, we strongly recommend placing a custom-fitted dental Crown/Cap. This final step encases the tooth, providing the necessary strength to withstand years of chewing and restoring your natural function and appearance.

FAQ

Relief and Preservation

What is a root canal treatment (RCT)?
Root canal treatment is a procedure to remove infected or inflamed pulp (the nerve and blood vessels) from inside a tooth’s root. The space is then cleaned, disinfected, filled, and sealed. The goal is to save your natural tooth and prevent the infection from spreading.
Is root canal treatment painful?
A common misconception is that root canals are painful. At Deekshu Dental, we use modern local anesthesia to completely numb the area before the procedure begins. The treatment itself is designed to relieve the severe pain caused by the infection, not create it. Most patients find the experience similar to getting a routine filling.
Why do I need a crown after a root canal?
After an RCT, the tooth is no longer nourished by the pulp and can become brittle. A dental crown is highly recommended to protect the treated tooth from future fractures, restore its full chewing function, and ensure the long-term success of the treatment.
What are the signs that I might need a root canal?
Common signs include severe tooth pain when chewing or applying pressure, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, a darkening of the tooth, swelling and tenderness in the surrounding gums, or a persistent pimple-like bump on the gum near the tooth.
What is the recovery and aftercare like?
You may experience mild soreness for a few days, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. You should avoid chewing hard or sticky foods on the treated tooth until the permanent filling or crown is placed. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial for long-term healing and success.
