Root canal treatment in Malviya Nagar
A root canal can save a tooth that is badly decayed, cracked or infected. Dr. Rishi Bharti treats root canals at his clinic in Malviya Nagar, and patients describe him as calm and reassuring even when they arrive anxious.
Understanding root canal treatment
Inside every tooth is soft tissue called the pulp. When decay or injury reaches it, the pulp can become inflamed or infected and cause pain, swelling or sensitivity to hot and cold. Root canal treatment removes the damaged pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth and seals it so the tooth can stay in your mouth. A treated tooth is usually protected afterwards with a filling or a crown.

Your visit, step by step

A clear explanation of the problem and your options before anything starts
The tooth is numbed before treatment, and you can ask for a pause at any time
Advice on aftercare and on protecting the tooth afterwards
Many people fear root canals more than they need to. How many visits you need depends on the tooth and the infection, and your dentist will tell you after examining you. Do not ignore tooth pain: acting early usually means simpler treatment.
Treatment depends on the individual. Your dentist will examine you and explain whether this suits you. In a medical emergency, go to the nearest hospital.
Common questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
The tooth is numbed before treatment, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Tell the dentist if you feel anything and they will pause or adjust. Some soreness afterwards is common and usually settles within a few days.
How many visits does it take?
It depends on the tooth and the infection. Your dentist will explain the plan after examining you.
Will I need a crown afterwards?
Often, especially for back teeth, because a treated tooth can be more brittle. The dentist will advise you.
