Root Canal
Tooth infection is one of the most common dental issues. RCT (Root Canal Treatment) is the perfect solution when your tooth is badly infected and damaged. It involves the removal of damaged or infected soft tissues within the pulp. The pulp region of a tooth contains blood vessels and nerves which create a feeling of pain when the procedure of RCT is performed. But, if you choose the best root canal dentist in Delhi, you can get painless single sitting root canal treatment based on advanced technology.

Root Canal FAQ+
What is a root canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure performed to treat an infected or damaged tooth by removing the pulp and nerves, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it.
Why is a root canal necessary?
Root canals are necessary to save a tooth with a damaged or infected pulp, preventing the spread of infection and avoiding tooth extraction.
What causes the need for a root canal?
Common causes include deep cavities, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, a cracked or fractured tooth, or trauma.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Symptoms may include severe toothache, swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold, and a pimple on the gums. A dentist will conduct an examination and may use X-rays for diagnosis.
Is a root canal painful?
Modern techniques and anesthesia make root canals relatively painless. Discomfort is usually minimal during and after the procedure.
How long does a root canal take?
The duration varies but typically takes one to two hours. Multiple visits may be needed depending on the severity of the infection.
Can I drive home after a root canal?
In most cases, patients can drive themselves home after a root canal, as the procedure is not considered a major surgery.
What is the recovery time for a root canal?
Recovery is usually quick, and normal activities can be resumed shortly after the procedure. Some may experience mild discomfort that can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
