Root Canal

Save Your Natural Tooth with Safe & Comfortable Root Canal Treatment

Persistent tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity, or swelling around a tooth may indicate an infection deep inside the tooth. A Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a highly effective procedure that removes the infection, relieves pain, and preserves your natural tooth. At Smile Time Dental Centre, KPHB, Hyderabad, we perform root canal treatments using modern techniques and advanced equipment to ensure a comfortable experience and long-lasting results. With timely treatment, you can save your natural tooth and restore its strength and function.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root Canal Treatment is a restorative dental procedure performed when the soft tissue (pulp) inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, repeated dental procedures, or injury. During the procedure, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent future infection. In many cases, a dental crown is recommended afterward to strengthen and protect the treated tooth.

When Do You Need a Root Canal?

You may require a root canal if you experience:

• Persistent or severe toothache
• Sharp pain while chewing or biting
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lasts even after the source is removed
• A darkened or discoloured tooth
• A small pimple or abscess on the gums
• Deep cavities that have reached the tooth’s nerve

Early treatment helps save your natural tooth and prevents the infection from spreading.

Our Root Canal Treatment Procedure

• Dental Examination
  Our dentist performs a thorough examination and takes digital X-rays to assess the extent of the infection and plan your treatment.
• Local Anaesthesia
  The affected tooth and surrounding area are numbed using local anaesthesia to ensure a comfortable and pain-free procedure.
• Removal of Infected Pulp
  A small opening is made in the tooth to remove the infected pulp tissue from the root canals.
• Cleaning & Disinfection
  The root canals are carefully cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and reduce the risk of reinfection.
• Filling the Root Canals
  The cleaned canals are sealed with a biocompatible filling material to protect the tooth from future infection.
• Tooth Restoration
  Based on the tooth’s condition, a filling or crown is placed to restore its strength, function, and appearance.

Most root canal treatments are completed in one or two visits, depending on the tooth’s condition.
