• Persistent toothache or sensitivity to hot and cold
• Swollen or tender gums near the affected tooth
• Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
• Pimple-like bumps on the gum near the painful tooth

1. Assessment and Diagnosis: Our expert dentist will carefully examine your teeth and may take X-rays to determine the extent of the infection or damage and assess the need for a root canal.
2. Anesthesia and Comfort: Before starting the procedure, we ensure you’re completely comfortable by administering local anesthesia to numb the area.
3. Pulp Removal: Once you’re numb, the infected or damaged pulp is removed from the tooth’s root canals, effectively eliminating the source of pain and infection.
4. Disinfection and Sealing: The canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to prevent any future infection. They are then sealed with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to prevent recontamination.
5. Restoration: To restore the tooth’s strength and function, a dental crown or filling is placed on top of the treated tooth, providing protection and support.
