A root canal is recommended for individuals with the following symptoms:
1. Persistent toothache or pain when chewing.
2. Sensitivity to hot or cold foods that lingers even after the source is removed.
3. Tender or swollen gums around a specific tooth.
4. Darkening of the tooth.
5. A small pimple or bump on the gums near the affected tooth.
If not treated, a tooth infection can spread, leading to serious health issues and tooth loss. A root canal could help save the tooth and avoid further complications.
At SmyleXL Dental Clinic, we aim to make your root canal experience as stress-free and smooth as possible. Here’s what to expect during your treatment:
Consultation and Diagnosis: Our expert will conduct a thorough assessment of your teeth, including X-rays, to determine the extent of the damage. If a root canal is needed, he will explain the process and answer any questions you may have.
Treatment: During the procedure, the affected tooth is numbed, and the infected pulp is carefully removed. The inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected before being sealed with a special material. A temporary filling or crown could be placed to protect the tooth until a permanent one is fitted.
Recovery and Follow-Up: After the procedure, you might experience a little discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication. Dr. Lakhani and his experienced team will provide aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

1. Can I eat after root canal treatment?
Yes, but avoid eating until the numbness wears off to prevent injury. Stick to soft foods and avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky items for a few days.
2. How long does a root canal last?
A well-done root canal can last several years with proper care, including regular dental visits and good oral hygiene.
3. What not to do after a root canal?
Avoid chewing on the treated side, eating hard or sticky foods, and skipping follow-up appointments to prevent complications.
4. Which is better: RCT or extraction?
RCT is better when the tooth can be saved as it preserves your natural tooth and functionality, while extraction is considered when the tooth is beyond repair.
5. Is RCT very painful?
No, RCT is performed under anesthesia or conscious sedation and feels similar to getting a filling. Post-treatment discomfort is mild and temporary.
