Root Canal Treatment At Solanki Dental Clinic
At Solanki Dental Clinic, we offer root canal treatment to treat infected tooth pulp, relieve pain, and save your tooth by removing the damaged tissue and sealing it. If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain or sensitivity, a root canal may be the solution to restore your tooth’s health and prevent further damage.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation in the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth). During the procedure, the infected tissue is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection. Root canal treatment helps preserve the natural tooth and avoid extraction, ensuring you can continue to use your tooth for chewing and speaking.
Why Choose Root Canal Treatment?
- Pain Relief: Root canal treatment is an effective solution for relieving severe tooth pain caused by infection or inflammation of the tooth pulp.
- Save Your Tooth: Instead of extracting the tooth, a root canal allows you to keep your natural tooth, maintaining its function and appearance.
- Prevent Further Infection: By removing the infected tissue and sealing the tooth, a root canal prevents the infection from spreading to other parts of the mouth and jaw.
- Long-Lasting Solution: When performed correctly, a root canal can provide a long-lasting solution to preserve the health of your tooth.

The Root Canal Treatment Process At Solanki Dental Clinic
The root canal procedure is typically done in one or two visits, and it follows these general steps:
First Visit:
During your first visit to Solanki Dental Clinic, we’ll thoroughly examine your tooth, take necessary X-rays, and assess the extent of the infection. This helps us create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Removing the Infected Pulp:
Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area. The dentist will then create a small opening in the tooth to access the infected pulp. The damaged tissue is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
Sealing the Tooth:
After cleaning, the space is filled with a special material called gutta-percha, which seals the tooth and prevents reinfection. In most cases, a temporary filling is placed to close the opening.
Restoring the Tooth:
After the root canal is completed, we may place a crown or permanent filling on the tooth to restore its strength and functionality. The crown helps protect the tooth from further damage and improves its appearance.
Recovery and Aftercare
Root canal treatment typically requires a short recovery period, and most patients experience minimal discomfort afterward. Here are some helpful aftercare tips:
- Pain Management: Mild discomfort or swelling is common after the procedure. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any discomfort.
- Avoid Hard Foods: For the first few days, avoid chewing on the treated tooth to allow it to fully heal.
- Oral Hygiene: Continue brushing and flossing as usual, but avoid the treated tooth for a day or two until it is fully restored.
- Follow-up Appointments: We will schedule follow-up visits to ensure your tooth is healing properly and to place the final crown or filling.
