What is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal treatment (RCT) involves removal of infected/damaged pulp inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals with a sealing process performed to prevent further infection. RCT is virtually painless today as it is performed using local anaesthesia contrary to popular misconception.
Dr. Deepak Kumar at The Urban Smile Dental Clinic, Sainikpuri, performs with advanced laser-assisted techniques in RCT so the process becomes typically shorter and less painful than if performed using traditional methods.

When Do You Need a Root Canal?
The RCT Procedure — Step by Step
Dr. Deepak examines the tooth and takes a digital X-ray to assess the extent of infection.
The area is numbed completely — you will feel no pain during the procedure.
The infected pulp is removed through a small opening in the crown of the tooth.
Root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected using laser-assisted instruments.
Canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent re-infection.
A dental crown is placed to restore the full strength and appearance of the tooth.
