Root Canal Treatment in Kurukshetra — Save Your Tooth, End the Pain
Root canal treatment has a reputation it does not deserve. Modern RCT relieves tooth pain — it does not cause it. It is typically no more uncomfortable than a standard filling, particularly when performed by a specialist endodontist like Dr. Harsh Sobti.
Quick Facts
What Happens Inside the Tooth
Understanding the condition that makes root canal treatment necessary.
The pulp inside the tooth contains nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria reach it through untreated decay, infection and severe pain follow.
Physical injury can damage the pulp even without visible decay — causing infection that requires root canal to resolve.
Teeth that have had multiple procedures on the same spot can develop pulp inflammation — even without bacteria present.
An untreated infected pulp leads to abscess — a pocket of pus at the root tip causing swelling, pain, and potential spread of infection.
Signs You May Need Root Canal
These symptoms warrant prompt dental assessment — do not wait for them to resolve on their own.
Pain on biting that is sharp, severe, or lingers after the pressure is removed
Sensitivity that lingers for more than a few seconds after the stimulus is removed
A tooth turning grey or dark is often a sign the pulp has died
Inflammation at the gum line around a specific tooth — particularly if there is a pimple-like bump
Numbness can mean the nerve has died — the infection is still present even without pain
Swelling of the face or jaw from dental abscess requires urgent attention
Root Canal — Step by Step
Demystifying what actually happens during RCT.
The tooth and surrounding area are fully anaesthetised. Dr. Sobti waits until you are completely numb before beginning. If you feel anything, tell him — the procedure stops until you do not.
A small opening is made in the tooth. The infected pulp is removed from the chamber and the root canals using very fine instruments.
The canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected thoroughly. This is where specialist training matters — complex canal anatomy requires experience to navigate correctly.
The canals are sealed with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. A temporary filling is placed to protect the tooth.
At a subsequent appointment, a crown is placed over the tooth to restore its strength and protect it from fracture — a root-treated tooth is more brittle than a living one.
Why not just extract the tooth? Saving a natural tooth is almost always preferable. Extraction causes bone loss beneath the gap, adjacent teeth shifting, and bite changes — all of which require further treatment to address.
