Root Canal Treatment Steps: Procedure, Pain-Free Process & Recovery Explained

1. Examination & X-ray

We first examine your tooth and take an X-ray to see the extent of infection and plan the treatment.

2. Local Anesthesia (Making it Pain-Free)

The area is completely numbed, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure.

3. Cleaning the Infection

We make a small opening in the tooth and remove the infected pulp using special instruments. The canals are then cleaned and disinfected.

4. Filling the Canals

After cleaning, the canals are filled with a special material to seal them and prevent reinfection.

5. Crown Placement (Cap)

To protect the treated tooth and restore strength, we place a crown (cap) on top.

Symptoms:

• Prolonged sensitivity to hot/cold
• Moderate to extreme pain with or without swelling.
• Discoloration of any tooth
• Cracked or fractured tooth
• Severely attrited tooth
