A severely decayed or infected tooth doesn’t always mean extraction. At Sushma Dental, with clinics in both Phagwara and Jalandhar, our root canal treatment saves damaged and infected teeth by removing the source of pain and infection — while preserving your natural tooth structure.
Using modern, painless techniques, our endodontic specialists at both branches help patients avoid unnecessary tooth loss and get lasting relief from dental pain.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment (RCT) is a procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp — the soft tissue inside your tooth containing nerves and blood vessels — cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further infection. It’s one of the most effective ways to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
You may need root canal treatment if you’re experiencing:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums near a tooth
- A darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- Pain while chewing or applying pressure
- A recurring pimple-like bump on the gums (abscess)
If you’re facing any of these symptoms, our team at Sushma Dental in Phagwara or Jalandhar can evaluate your tooth and recommend the right treatment.
Causes of Tooth Infection Requiring Root Canal Treatment
Tooth infections that lead to the need for root canal treatment can result from:
- Deep, untreated tooth decay
- Cracked or fractured teeth
- Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
- Trauma or injury to a tooth, even without visible damage
- Advanced gum disease affecting the tooth root
Our Root Canal Treatment Process at Sushma Dental (Phagwara & Jalandhar)
- Diagnosis & X-Ray – Digital imaging to confirm infection and assess the extent of damage
- Local Anesthesia – Numbing the area completely for a comfortable, painless procedure
- Accessing the Tooth – A small opening is made to reach the infected pulp
- Removing Infected Pulp – Careful cleaning and shaping of the root canals
- Disinfecting the Canal – Thorough cleaning to eliminate bacteria and prevent reinfection
- Filling & Sealing – The canal is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed
- Crown Placement – A dental crown is often placed afterward to restore strength and protect the tooth
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
A common misconception is that root canal treatment is painful — in reality, it relieves the pain caused by the underlying infection. With modern anesthesia and techniques, our patients in Phagwara and Jalandhar typically report the procedure feels similar to getting a routine filling.
Root Canal Treatment vs. Tooth Extraction
| Factor | Root Canal Treatment | Tooth Extraction |
|---|---|---|
| Saves natural tooth | Yes | No |
| Preserves jawbone structure | Yes | May lead to bone loss over time |
| Chewing function | Fully restored with crown | Requires replacement (implant/bridge) |
| Long-term cost | Often lower with crown | May need additional replacement cost |
| Recovery time | Quick, minimal downtime | Longer healing, especially for surgical extractions |
Whenever possible, our dentists at Sushma Dental recommend saving the natural tooth through root canal treatment rather than extraction.
