Root canal treatment removes inflamed or infected tissue from inside a tooth, cleans the canal system and seals it so the tooth can remain in use. At Dr. Kathuria’s Dental Specialties, Dr. Eisha Kathuria assesses restorability and coordinates endodontic care when indicated.
Pain alone does not confirm the need for treatment. Symptoms, clinical tests, radiographs and the amount of remaining tooth structure guide the diagnosis.
Same-day consultations may be available; call to confirm. Monday–Saturday, 9:30 am–8:00 pm.

01 · Quick answer
Root canal treatment in Tagore Garden: the short answer
Treatment may be recommended when the dental pulp is irreversibly inflamed or infected and the tooth can be predictably restored. The canals are cleaned, disinfected and filled before the tooth receives a suitable final restoration.
In brief: diagnosis and suitability require individual examination.
02 · Overview
What root canal treatment does
The dental pulp contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. Deep decay, cracks, trauma or repeated procedures can damage it.
Treatment addresses disease inside the tooth. It does not rebuild missing outer tooth structure, so a separate restoration may be required.
03 · Suitability
Who may need a root canal assessment in Tagore Garden
Assessment is appropriate for persistent toothache, lingering temperature sensitivity, pain on biting, deep decay, trauma or changes around a root tip.
✓
An assessment may proceed when
The tooth can be restored
Tests support pulpal or apical disease
Gum and bone support are adequate
The patient understands restoration and review
!
Treatment may need to wait when
A crack extends too far below the gum
The tooth cannot be predictably restored
Support is severely compromised
Medical or acute swelling needs prior management
Clinical note: this list supports discussion; it does not diagnose suitability.
04 · Compare choices
Root canal treatment, monitoring or extraction
A reversible condition may need decay removal, a filling or monitoring. A non-restorable tooth may require extraction followed by a discussion of replacement options.

Second opinion
Need clarity before proceeding?
A second opinion can review diagnosis, alternatives, expected maintenance and the proposed restorative sequence.
The sequence depends on anatomy, infection, previous treatment and whether specialist endodontic input is required.
01
Primary treatment
Initial treatment of an untreated canal system.
02
Retreatment
Reassessment of a tooth with previous root filling.

07 · Process
How root canal treatment treatment works
01
Diagnosis and isolation
Clinical tests and imaging guide diagnosis. A rubber dam isolates the tooth during treatment.
02
Clean and shape
Instruments and irrigants clean the accessible canal system.
03
Fill the canals
Prepared canals are sealed with a root-filling material.
04
Restore and review
The access is restored and the tooth is reviewed for function and healing.
08 · Aftercare
After root canal treatment
Tenderness can occur after treatment. Protect the tooth until the final restoration is complete.
First days
Use the tooth carefully and follow prescribed instructions.
Between visits
Keep any temporary restoration clean and intact.
Final restoration
Complete the filling or crown within the advised interval.
Review
Healing and function may require clinical or radiographic review.
Contact the clinic promptly for worsening swelling, persistent bleeding, fever, spreading pain, altered sensation or a loose restoration. Seek urgent medical care for breathing or swallowing difficulty.
09 · Informed consent
Limits and risks of root canal treatment
Complex anatomy and existing damage affect predictability.
Points discussed before treatment
Persistent or recurrent infection
Instrument separation or canal blockage
Perforation or missed anatomy
Tooth fracture before or after restoration
Need for retreatment, surgery or extraction
10 · Planning
Tooth structure and the final restoration
Long-term survival depends on both canal treatment and the quality of the final restoration. Back teeth often need cuspal protection when substantial structure is missing.
Bite forces, cracks, gum levels and ferrule influence whether a filling, onlay or crown is appropriate.

Root Canal Treatment FAQ for Tagore Garden patients
Does every toothache need root canal treatment?
No. Tooth pain has several causes. Clinical tests and imaging help identify whether the pulp is reversibly irritated, irreversibly inflamed, infected or healthy.
Is root canal treatment painful?
Local anaesthesia is used. Some tenderness can occur afterwards, particularly when inflammation was present before treatment.
How many visits are needed?
The number varies with the tooth, infection, anatomy, symptoms and whether further procedures are required.
Does the tooth always need a crown?
Not always. The restoration depends on tooth position and remaining structure. Many heavily restored back teeth benefit from cuspal protection.
Can infection return?
Yes. Leakage, complex anatomy, new decay, cracks or restoration failure can lead to persistent or recurrent disease.
What if the tooth cannot be saved?
Extraction and replacement choices can be discussed after diagnosis.
