About Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a specialized dental procedure performed to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. The process involves removing the inflamed or infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth), carefully cleaning and disinfecting the inner chamber and root canals, and then filling and sealing the space. This treatment effectively eliminates pain, stops the spread of infection, and preserves the natural tooth structure. Modern techniques and anesthesia make the procedure comfortable and highly successful, allowing patients to retain their natural smile and bite function for years to come.

Rohan, a 7-year-old from an affluent family, presented with severe dental trauma after a bicycle accident. Dr. Kumar performed emergency stabilization of multiple avulsed teeth using advanced splinting techniques. The child required weekly follow-ups for 3 months and eventually regained full dental function with minimal aesthetic impact, much to his parents' relief.
