Painless Root Canal Treatment in Yogi Chowk, Surat

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure to treat infection at the center of a tooth. It's needed when the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or trauma. The treatment involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection.

Modern root canal treatments are virtually painless. We use local anesthesia to ensure you're comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients report feeling no pain during the treatment, and any discomfort after the procedure can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

A typical root canal treatment takes 1-2 visits, each lasting about 60-90 minutes. The exact duration depends on the complexity of the case and the tooth being treated. Some cases can be completed in a single visit, while others may require multiple visits for optimal results.

The main alternative to root canal treatment is tooth extraction. However, we always recommend saving your natural tooth whenever possible. Extracting a tooth can lead to other dental problems, such as shifting of adjacent teeth, bone loss, and difficulty chewing. Root canal treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth and maintain proper oral function.

With proper care, a tooth that has had root canal treatment can last a lifetime. The key to long-term success is maintaining good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and protecting the treated tooth with a crown if recommended by your dentist. The crown helps prevent the tooth from breaking and restores its full function.
