Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to preserve a tooth affected by deep decay, damage, or infection of the dental pulp. When the inner pulp of the tooth becomes infected due to deep cavities, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, it can cause significant pain, sensitivity, and swelling. If left untreated, the infection may spread and lead to tooth loss.
At SS Dental Care, Dr. Shalini Sharma provides root canal treatment based on individual dental needs, using appropriate techniques and equipment. Treatment options are determined following a clinical examination and assessment of the affected tooth. The procedure removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent future infection.
Our goal is to preserve your natural tooth, eliminate discomfort, and restore normal chewing function while maintaining your overall oral health.

Helps address infection or inflammation affecting the dental pulp and may help preserve the natural tooth when clinically appropriate.
The procedure begins with a detailed examination and digital X-ray to assess the extent of the infection. After administering local anesthesia, the infected pulp is carefully removed from inside the tooth.
The root canals are then thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria. Once cleaned, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
In many cases, a dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance. Most patients experience significant pain relief shortly after treatment and can return to their normal activities within a day.
Root canal treatment involves careful assessment of the affected tooth to determine whether it can be preserved. Dr. Shalini Sharma evaluates the condition of the dental pulp and surrounding tissues before discussing suitable treatment options with the patient.
At SS Dental Care in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, the treatment plan depends on the extent of infection or damage, the tooth’s condition, and the need for further restoration. Follow-up care and appropriate oral hygiene are important for maintaining the treated tooth and supporting its long-term function.
Root canal treatment is generally performed under local anaesthesia to help manage discomfort during the procedure. Some tenderness or discomfort may occur during recovery. The treatment approach depends on the condition of the affected tooth and the findings of the clinical examination.
Most root canal treatments can be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the condition of the tooth.
Yes, but it is recommended to wait until the numbness wears off and avoid hard foods until the tooth is fully restored.
With proper oral hygiene, appropriate restoration, and regular dental checkups, a root canal-treated tooth can function for many years. Its longevity depends on the tooth’s condition, the quality of the restoration, and ongoing dental care.
Delaying necessary root canal treatment may allow the infection to progress, potentially causing increased pain, abscess formation, and damage to the surrounding tissues. In some cases, the tooth may no longer be restorable and may require extraction. Early dental evaluation can help determine the appropriate treatment.
