Root canal treatment removes infection from inside a tooth so that you can keep your natural tooth instead of losing it. At Dental Planet, it is done under local anaesthesia with modern equipment, for precise and comfortable treatment.
Our clinic in Indore is led by Dr. Ankur Vatsal (MDS) and Dr. Khushboo Barjatya Vatsal (MDS). If you have tooth pain or swelling, book an appointment or call +91 93016 65066.
Inside every tooth is soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When deep decay, a crack or an injury lets bacteria reach the pulp, it can become infected or inflamed and cause pain or an abscess.
During root canal treatment the dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the canals inside the root, then fills and seals them. The tooth is usually restored afterwards with a filling or a crown so it can work normally again.
These signs can have other causes. Only an examination and X-ray can confirm whether you need a root canal, so please do not wait if you have pain or swelling.
Many teeth need one or two visits, and more complex teeth may need more. Your dentist will tell you what to expect for your tooth.
Baby teeth can also be infected by deep decay or injury, and treating them helps protect the child's chewing, speech and the space for the adult teeth. The dentist decides whether a child's tooth can be treated or needs to be removed. Dr. Khushboo Barjatya Vatsal (MDS) focuses on pediatric and preventive dentistry, and you can read about our pediatric dental care in Indore.

Many teeth can be treated in one or two visits, while complex teeth with several canals or a long-standing infection may need more. Your dentist will explain the number of visits after examining your tooth and taking an X-ray.
Mild tenderness or soreness for a few days is common and usually settles with routine care and any medicines your dentist advises. Avoid biting hard on the tooth until it has been fully restored, and contact your dentist if pain or swelling gets worse.
Often yes, especially for back teeth, because a tooth that has had a root canal can be weaker and needs protection from chewing forces. Your dentist will advise whether a filling or a crown is right for your tooth. You can read more about crowns, bridges and dentures in Indore.
In many cases yes, if enough healthy tooth structure remains and the surrounding bone is healthy. If a tooth cannot be saved, it can be replaced, for example with dental implants in Indore. Your dentist will explain the options after an examination and X-ray.
An infected tooth does not heal on its own. Delay can allow the infection to spread, causing an abscess, facial swelling and damage to the bone around the tooth, and the tooth may eventually be lost. If you have persistent pain or swelling, see a dentist promptly.
Yes. It is a routine, widely used dental procedure that removes infection and saves the tooth. Claims that root canal treatment causes illness elsewhere in the body are not supported by good evidence, and your dentist can answer any concerns you have.
