Root Canal Treatment Treatment in India

Ishaan Sharma, a 28-year-old software engineer, had always been diligent with his dental care. However, a deep cavity from his teenage years had been silently worsening. It began with a dull ache when he drank his morning coffee, which he initially ignored. Over three months, the pain escalated into a sharp, throbbing agony that kept him awake at night and made chewing on the left side of his mouth impossible. A persistent, unpleasant taste also developed. His dentist, Dr. Mehta, took an X-ray which revealed an abscess at the tip of the tooth's root. Dr. Mehta explained that the tooth's pulp was infected and dying, and a root canal was the only way to save the tooth and eliminate the infection. Ishaan was terrified, having heard horror stories about the procedure. During the treatment, under local anesthesia, he felt no pain, only pressure. The procedure took about 90 minutes, and he was relieved it was over. Recovery involved mild soreness for a few days, managed with over-the-counter painkillers. A week later, he received a permanent crown. The relief was immediate and profound. Emotionally, he went from nights of dread and anxiety to immense relief and gratitude for being pain-free and saving his natural tooth.
