Root canal treatment in New Chandigarh
A root canal removes the inflamed or infected soft tissue from inside a tooth. The canals are cleaned, shaped and sealed. The tooth is then rebuilt so you can chew on it again. The aim is simple: end the pain and keep your own tooth.
Signs you may need one
- Toothache that lingers after hot or cold food, or wakes you at night.
- Pain when you bite or tap on one tooth.
- Swelling or a small pimple on the gum that comes and goes.
- A tooth that has turned darker than the ones beside it.
- Deep decay or a crack seen on an X-ray, sometimes with no pain at all.
How it is done
Diagnosis
An examination and X-ray confirm which tooth is causing the trouble and whether it can be saved.
Numbing
Local anaesthetic numbs the tooth. Treatment starts only once you are comfortable.
Cleaning and shaping
The canals are located, measured and cleaned with fine rotary or reciprocating nickel titanium files and disinfecting rinses.
Sealing
The cleaned canals are filled and sealed to stop bacteria from getting back in.
Rebuilding the tooth
A filling, onlay or crown restores strength. This last step protects the tooth for the long term.
Aftercare
- Mild tenderness for a few days is common and usually settles with ordinary pain relief.
- Avoid chewing hard food on that side until the final restoration is in place.
- Brush and floss as normal.
- Call the clinic if you have swelling, strong pain, or the temporary filling comes out.
Common questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic before treatment begins. Most patients describe the appointment as similar to having a filling. Some tenderness afterwards is normal for a few days.
How many visits does it take?
Many teeth can be completed in one or two visits. Teeth with severe infection or complex canals may need more. You will be told what to expect after the first examination.
Do I need a crown afterwards?
Back teeth usually do, because a root filled tooth with a large cavity can fracture under chewing forces. Front teeth often need only a filling. The right option depends on how much tooth is left.
Is it better to remove the tooth instead?
Keeping a natural tooth is usually the first choice when it can be restored. Removing it means planning a replacement such as a bridge or implant. Dr. Rathore will explain both options for your tooth.
This page is general information. Whether a treatment suits your tooth can only be decided after an examination.

Best doctor in chandigarh, i got my RCT done for 4 teeth and it was such a pain free experience. I would highly recommend her always there to help no matter the time. Even after weeks without any issue, the support and care remains the same, thank you Dr. Srishti
I got scaling done from Dr. Srishti and she did the entire process with so much patience and care that I was really amazed to see her attention to detail. I even got my young daughter to her for tooth extraction later seeing her professionalism and her tender care given to such a young child. Dr. Srishti made my daughter feel so comfortable and relaxed during the entire process that she didn't panic at all. It is so nice to see such young professionals being so attentive to details especially with children. Thanks Dr. Srishti !!
