Root Canal Therapy – Pain-Free, Precise Treatment to Save Your Tooth

When tooth decay or infection reaches the inner pulp, it can cause severe pain, swelling, and sensitivity. In the past, extraction was often the only solution — but with modern root canal therapy, your natural tooth can be saved.

At Dental Heights, we use advanced techniques and gentle care to make root canal treatment comfortable and stress-free. Led by Dr. Bhagabati Prasad Dash (MDS, AIIMS New Delhi), our clinic focuses on precise, effective procedures that remove infection, preserve tooth structure, and restore full function.

What is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that treats infection or inflammation inside a tooth. The pulp — containing nerves and blood vessels — can become infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma.

During treatment, the infected pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed with a filling or crown for protection.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

• Persistent toothache or throbbing pain

• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers

• Swelling or tenderness around the gums

• Darkening of the tooth

• A small bump on the gums (abscess)

The Root Canal Process at Dental Heights

Step 1 – Diagnosis & Planning
We begin with an examination and X-rays to locate the infection and assess the tooth’s condition.

Step 2 – Local Anesthesia
We numb the area so you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.

Step 3 – Pulp Removal
A small opening is made in the tooth to remove the infected pulp tissue.

Step 4 – Cleaning & Shaping
The root canals are carefully cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.

Step 5 – Filling & Sealing
The canals are filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) and the tooth is sealed.

Step 6 – Restoration
A crown is often placed to strengthen and protect the tooth, restoring its function and appearance.
