Root canal treatment in Thane to treat infection, relieve toothache and save your natural tooth where possible. Book a consultation at Dr Rai's Dental Clinic.

A root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth. It treats the infection, relieves the pain and can let you keep your natural tooth instead of losing it.

At Dr Rai's Dental Clinic in Majiwada, Thane West, we use local anaesthesia to numb the tooth and the area around it before treatment begins.

If your tooth has severe pain, swelling or sensitivity to hot and cold, please visit early. Early treatment is simpler, and in suitable cases we can finish it in one visit with a single-sitting root canal.

Root Canal Treatment FAQs

What is a root canal treatment?

A root canal treatment removes infected pulp from inside a tooth and seals the space. It aims to save the tooth and relieve the pain.

Is a root canal painful?

The tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia, and you may feel pressure during treatment. Mild soreness for a few days afterwards is normal and can be managed.

How do I know if I need a root canal?

Signs include severe toothache, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, a pimple on the gum or a darkened tooth. Only an examination and X-ray can confirm it.

How many visits does a root canal take?

Many teeth need one to three visits, depending on the infection. Suitable cases can be completed in one visit as a single-sitting root canal.

How long does a root canal visit take?

A visit typically takes 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the tooth and the number of canals.

Can I eat after a root canal?

You can eat once the numbness wears off, but avoid chewing on the treated side until the tooth is restored. Choose soft foods at first.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

Often yes, especially for back teeth. A crown protects the weakened tooth from fracture. You can read about our ceramic dental crowns.

What happens if I delay a root canal?

Delay can allow the infection to spread, which may cause swelling, pain and bone loss, and the tooth may be lost. Early treatment is usually simpler.

How long does a root canal treated tooth last?

With a good restoration and proper care, it can last many years. Regular check-ups help.

Is extracting the tooth better than a root canal?

Saving your natural tooth is usually better for chewing and for your neighbouring teeth. If a tooth cannot be saved, we explain replacement options such as dental implants.
