Painless Root Canal Treatment in Lahore: Cost, Process & Recovery
S
Dr. Saleh Rafaqat
Smile Heaven Dental Clinic, Lahore
Root canal treatment saves a tooth that would otherwise need to come out. With today's anaesthesia and rotary instruments, the visit is closer in feel to a filling than the horror story people expect.
When you need one
Deep decay, a cracked tooth or a long-standing infection can inflame the nerve inside the tooth. A root canal removes the infection and seals the tooth so it can stay in place for years.
The process
A typical case takes one or two visits:
- Full local anaesthesia — you should feel pressure only.
- Careful cleaning and shaping of the root canals.
- Sealing with a biocompatible filling material.
- A crown fitted afterwards to protect the tooth long-term.
Recovery
Mild tenderness for a day or two is normal and easily managed. Most people are back to work the same day.
