What should I expect from a root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment usually involves a few clear stages: numbing the tooth, removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and shaping the root canals, sealing them, and restoring the tooth. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so the treatment itself is generally designed to be comfortable.

What should you expect during the process? 🦷
1. Examination
Your dentist examines the tooth and may take an X-ray to assess the infection or damage.
2. Numbing
The affected area is numbed before treatment begins.
3. Cleaning
The infected pulp is removed, and the root canals are cleaned and shaped.
4. Sealing
The cleaned canals are filled and sealed to help prevent reinfection.
5. Restoration
A filling or crown may be placed to restore the tooth's strength and function.
6. Recovery
Mild soreness may occur after treatment and usually settles with proper care.

At SRM Dental Clinic, Dr. Ravi Kumar focuses on careful diagnosis, precise root canal treatment, and patient comfort throughout the procedure.
