Save an infected or badly damaged tooth and relieve the pain.
A root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue (the pulp) from inside a tooth. The inside of the root canals is then cleaned, disinfected and sealed, so that the tooth can stay in your mouth instead of being extracted.
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia and is meant to relieve pain, not cause it. After treatment, the tooth is usually protected with a filling or crown.
At Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar, your dentist takes X-rays, explains what is happening inside the tooth, and plans the treatment with you.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Duration | Usually 1–2 visits of 45–90 minutes each |
| Preparation | Take any antibiotics or pain relief the dentist has prescribed; eat beforehand if you like, and tell the staff about allergies and medicines |
| What Happens | The tooth is numbed, an opening is made, the infected pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and sealed, and a filling or temporary cover is placed |
| Who It's For | People with deep decay, a cracked tooth, a tooth abscess, or severe or lingering tooth pain |
A root canal is recommended when the pulp of a tooth is infected or damaged and the tooth can still be saved.

The tooth is numbed, so the procedure itself should feel similar to having a filling. Mild soreness afterwards is common and can be managed with the medicines advised.
Keeping your natural tooth helps maintain your bite and the neighbouring teeth. Your dentist will discuss whether saving the tooth is the best option.
Often yes, especially for back teeth, because a treated tooth can be weaker. Your dentist will advise you.
Contact your dentist if you have swelling, fever, severe pain or if the temporary filling comes out.
