Root Canal Treatment

Preserve your natural tooth with precision and care

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a specialized procedure designed to save a severely decayed or infected tooth. When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or cracks, it causes pain and can lead to abscess formation. A root canal helps eliminate infection, relieve discomfort, and restore the tooth’s functionality—without the need for extraction.

At Dr. Joshi’s Smile n Care, root canals are performed with advanced tools like apex locators, rotary instruments, and dental microscopes to ensure precise cleaning and sealing of the root canals. Dr. Hrishikesh Joshi’s expertise in Endodontics ensures that the procedure is pain-free, efficient, and long-lasting, helping you retain your natural smile with confidence

Goals of Root Canal Treatment

Eliminate Pain & Infection: Remove infected pulp tissue to stop the spread of bacteria and relieve discomfort.
Preserve the Natural Tooth: Avoid unnecessary extractions and maintain the integrity of your bite.
Prevent Complications: Stop infection from spreading to surrounding bone or tissues.
Restore Full Function: Enable chewing and speaking without pain or pressure.

Common Concerns We Address with Root Canals

Severe Toothache or Sensitivity: Persistent pain while eating or drinking hot or cold items.
Swollen Gums or Abscesses: Infection may lead to pus, swelling, or pimple-like bumps on the gum.
Deep Cavities or Trauma: Fractured or extensively decayed teeth that can’t be restored with fillings alone.
Tooth Discoloration: A tooth that darkens due to nerve damage may need root canal therapy.
Prolonged Sensitivity: Lingering sensitivity after cold/hot exposure, often a sign of internal damage.
