What is a root canal?
Inside every tooth is soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. Deep decay, a crack or an injury can let bacteria reach the pulp, causing infection, pain and sometimes swelling.
Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the canals inside the root, then fills and seals them. It lets you keep your natural tooth instead of having it removed. We use digital X-rays and rotary instruments to clean the canals. Back teeth usually need a crown afterwards to protect them.

Does a root canal hurt?
The tooth is numbed with a local anaesthetic before treatment starts, and many people say it feels similar to having a filling. The tooth and gum may feel tender for a few days afterwards; over-the-counter pain relief usually helps. Root canal treatment usually relieves the pain caused by the infection.
Your visit, step by step
- 1.
Check-up and digital X-ray to find the cause of the pain.
- 2.
Local anaesthetic to numb the tooth.
- 3.
The infected pulp is removed and the canals are cleaned and shaped.
- 4.
If needed, medicine is placed inside the tooth and it is closed with a temporary filling until the next visit.
- 5.
The canals are filled and sealed.
- 6.
A filling or crown restores the tooth.
After your visit
- The tooth may feel tender for a few days. Take pain relief as your dentist advises.
- Avoid chewing hard food on that tooth until it has its final filling or crown.
- Keep brushing and flossing as usual.
- Call us if swelling gets worse, or if pain increases after a few days.

I had my tooth extraction done today at Net Clinic, and I'm very happy with the care I received. Special thanks to Dr. Neenu and the nurse who assisted her. They both took excellent care of me and made me feel comfortable throughout the procedure. Highly recommended!
