Root canal treatment can seem intimidating, but in reality, it's a highly effective procedure to save a tooth that would otherwise require extraction. Dr. Nivaidita Rastogi, a seasoned dental surgeon with over 11 years of experience, specializes in making this treatment as smooth and comfortable as possible for her patients.
A root canal is a dental procedure that involves removing infected or damaged tissue from within the tooth’s root canal. This is done to preserve the natural tooth and prevent the infection from spreading. The term "root canal" often brings to mind fear and discomfort, but modern techniques have made it far more manageable than most people expect.
If you’re experiencing constant pain in a tooth, especially while chewing or applying pressure, it could indicate the need for a root canal. Persistent pain is often a signal of deep infection within the root.
Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages is another warning sign. If the sensitivity lingers long after the temperature changes, it could mean the tooth’s pulp is damaged.
Swelling around a specific tooth, especially accompanied by tenderness or discharge, can indicate an infection that needs immediate attention.
Understanding each step of the root canal treatment can alleviate anxiety and help patients feel more at ease.
Before beginning, Dr. Rastogi discusses the procedure in detail and answers any questions. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area, ensuring you won’t feel discomfort.

The cleaned canals are filled and sealed to prevent future infection.
