Root canal treatment is a procedure that saves and restores teeth with infected or inflamed tissues inside the root canals. The access is made through a carious portion of teeth from where a small instrument called an ‘endodontic file’ is inserted. This tool removes all infected material inside the root canal and cleans it to make way for the safe circulation of blood. For a severely damaged or diseased tooth root canal treatment is considered as a” life-saving” treatment. The endodontist Dr. Anuj Bhardwaj will always recommend a tooth canal to avoid tooth extraction for the natural smile to be intact.
The natural cavity at the center of the tooth is referred to as the” root canal”. The root canal has soft tissue called pulp and the tooth’s nerves. Infection or inflammation is caused if bacteria or debris enter this area or in extreme cases, an abscess.
Like many other dental procedures root canal has also got the benefit of technological advancement and improved standard of materials. Before the actual procedure is performed all the options are discussed and also the use of anesthesia to make sure the comfortability of the patients.
The first part of treating a tooth with an abscess or infection is to remove the decay or damage so that you can then disinfect and seal off this damaged area. This may involve a simple filling; however, if there are complications such as bridges, crowns, or dental fillings in more than one or two sides (called multi-sided cavities) surgical procedures may be necessary to prepare these cavities for endodontic therapy (root canal). After the filling is complete, the dentist may place a crown, which in effect “seals” off this area from future decay.
If root canal therapy is necessary, your tooth will be numbed by using a local anesthetic after the area has been prepared to receive the dental instruments that will be used to clean out the pulp and root canals of your tooth. Your dentist then uses special instruments that have been developed specifically for this type of procedure. These instruments are called files (or rotary files) and they come in different sizes to fit into smaller or larger spaces within the root canal space. The dentist must also use a small drill that has diamond tips on it so as not to harm any remaining sound tooth structure such as supporting bone or other teeth structure. The dentist will then remove the pulp tissue and any infection or diseased tissue. Once complete, a special filling material is placed in the empty space that has been cleaned of all infected material, and in some cases, small artificial roots are used to help support the tooth. These procedures may take anywhere from two to three hours on average.
Root canal treatment is defined as the process of removal of infected pulp from the inside of the root canals. If this infection is not removed, it will spread throughout the rest of your teeth and even to your jaws.

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure used to save a severely decayed or infected tooth. During the procedure, the dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp (soft tissue) from the tooth's interior, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and then fills them with a biocompatible material. Finally, a dental crown or filling is placed on the tooth to restore its strength and functionality. Root canal treatment helps alleviate pain, prevent tooth loss, and preserve natural teeth.
The cost of root canal treatment can vary based on factors such as the specific tooth, complexity of the case, and location. It is recommended to consult with a dentist or endodontist who can provide an accurate cost estimate based on your individual needs. Additionally, dental insurance coverage may assist in covering some of the expenses.
