Experiencing inflamed gums and throbbing pain? Don’t let a minor tooth infection turn into a serious complication. Dr. Shrivastava, our expert dentist known for root canal treatment in Bhopal, can effectively remove the infection, reduce discomfort, and preserve your natural tooth.
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, involves:
This treatment is important when the pulp becomes infected due to repeated dental procedures on the tooth, deep decay, or a cracked or chipped tooth.





Preservation of Natural Tooth: Root Canal Treatment allows you to save your natural tooth, avoiding extraction and preserving your smile’s appearance and function.
Pain Relief: Root canal treatment can reduce the pain and discomfort caused by infection by removing the infected pulp.
Preventing Spread of Infection: Root Canal Treatment prevents the infection from the tooth to the surrounding tissues, reducing the risk of serious oral health issues.
Efficient Chewing: After root canal treatment, you can chew and bite efficiently, restoring your tooth’s full function.
As the name suggests, single-sitting root canal treatment is a procedure where the entire root canal treatment is completed in a single visit, unlike traditional root canal treatment, which may require multiple visits. This treatment is ideal for patients who want to minimize the number of dental visits and complete the treatment quickly.
Single-sitting root canal treatment saves time by completing the procedure in one visit, reducing the number of dental appointments needed.
Since the treatment is completed in a single visit, there is less discomfort and inconvenience for the patient.
Single-sitting root canal treatment is as effective as traditional root canal treatment in eliminating the infection and preserving the tooth.

Avoiding root canal treatment if your dentist recommends it is generally not advisable. Ignoring the necessity for a root canal can cause extreme pain, further infection, and even the loss of the tooth.
A filling may be sufficient to repair a tooth with a small cavity or minor damage. However, if the damage has reached the pulp, then a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth.
The root canal treatment cost depends on the oral health, the damage or infection of the tooth, and the number of teeth to be treated.

The most common sign is a persistent, throbbing toothache that worsens at night or when you bite down. Other warning signs include prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold drinks, a darkened or discoloured tooth, swollen or tender gums near the affected tooth, and a small pimple-like bump on the gum that may ooze pus. If you notice any of these, see a dentist promptly — delaying treatment allows the infection to spread.
No — with modern technology, root canal treatment is a comfortable, pain-free experience. The tooth is fully numbed before the procedure begins, and most patients compare the sensation to getting a routine filling. At Smile Gallery, we use the most advanced endodontic technology available: laser-assisted root canal treatment for precise disinfection, ultrasonic activators for thorough canal cleaning, and micro-endodontics with dental loupes for magnified accuracy. These technologies make the procedure faster, gentler and more predictable than traditional methods.
Yes, many root canal treatments can be completed in a single sitting of 45 to 90 minutes, especially for front teeth and premolars with fewer canals. Molars with three or four canals, or teeth with severe infection, may need two visits. Your dentist will decide based on the complexity of the case after examining the X-ray.
A root-canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime with proper care. The American Association of Endodontists confirms that most RCT-treated teeth function normally for decades. The key is getting a dental crown placed on the tooth afterward — an unprotected tooth is brittle and prone to fracture. Regular brushing, flossing and dental check-ups keep the treated tooth healthy long-term.
An untreated infected tooth does not heal on its own — the infection spreads. The pulp tissue dies, forming an abscess (a pus-filled pocket) at the root tip. This can destroy the surrounding jawbone, cause severe facial swelling, and in rare but serious cases, the infection can enter the bloodstream. What starts as a treatable toothache can end in tooth extraction or a hospital visit.
The cost depends on which tooth needs treatment — front teeth have one canal while molars have three or four, making them more complex and time-consuming. Other factors include the severity of infection, whether re-treatment of a previously failed RCT is needed, the technology used (rotary endodontics vs manual filing), and whether a dental crown is placed afterward. An X-ray examination is needed before your dentist can provide an accurate estimate.
Most patients resume their normal routine the same day after root canal treatment. Your dentist provides a post-procedure care plan with gentle medication to keep you completely comfortable during recovery. The treated tooth settles down quickly, and any mild awareness around the area fades within a day or two. Follow-up care ensures the healing stays on track — patients are often surprised at how smooth the recovery is compared to what they expected.
Wait until the numbness from anaesthesia wears off completely — usually one to two hours — to avoid accidentally biting your cheek or tongue. Start with soft foods on the opposite side of your mouth for the first day. Avoid hard, crunchy or sticky foods on the treated tooth until your permanent crown is placed, as the tooth is more fragile during this period.
