Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a treatment to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. Dr. Pooja Verma offers painless root canal treatment to relieve your tooth pain and prevent further damage to your tooth.

What is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy (also called endodontic therapy) is a procedure that involves removing the infected pulp inside a tooth and sealing it to prevent further infection. This treatment helps save the tooth from extraction, maintaining its function and appearance.

Symptoms That Indicate You May Need a Root Canal

Severe tooth pain or sensitivity, especially to hot or cold foods
Swelling or tenderness around the gums
Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
Persistent or recurring pimple on the gums
Severe tooth infection

The Root Canal Procedure

The root canal procedure typically involves the following steps:

Diagnosis and Preparation: Dr. Pooja Verma will take X-rays to evaluate the extent of the infection and plan the treatment.
Accessing the Tooth: A small opening is made in the top of the tooth to reach the infected pulp inside.
Cleaning and Shaping: The infected tissue is removed, and the root canal is cleaned and shaped to prepare for filling.
Sealing: The root canal is filled with a biocompatible material to seal it and prevent further infection.
Restoration: A crown or filling is placed to restore the tooth's function and appearance.
