SAVE YOUR NATURAL TOOTH
Root Canal Treatment in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru
A modern, comfortable procedure that removes infection and saves a badly decayed or damaged tooth from extraction.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and disinfects the inner chamber, and seals it to prevent further infection. A crown is usually placed afterward to restore the tooth’s strength.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
- Persistent tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the trigger is removed.
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums near a tooth.
- Darkening or discoloration of a single tooth.
- A recurring pimple or bump on the gums.
Root Canal vs Extraction
A root canal saves your natural tooth, which is generally better for chewing function and long-term jawbone health than removing it. Extraction leaves a gap that typically needs an implant or bridge to fill later. When a tooth can be saved, keeping the natural tooth is usually the preferred option.
The Root Canal Procedure at MED Rx Dental Centre
- Diagnosis and X-ray: We confirm the infection and assess the tooth’s condition.
- Anesthesia and access: The tooth is numbed and a small opening made to reach the pulp.
- Cleaning and shaping: Infected pulp is removed and the canals are cleaned and shaped.
- Filling and sealing: The canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed.
- Crown placement: A crown is typically placed to protect and restore the treated tooth.
Are You a Candidate?
Root canal treatment is recommended when a tooth’s pulp is infected or inflamed, but the surrounding tooth structure and bone are otherwise healthy enough to be saved. This is determined through examination and X-ray.

Root Canal FAQs
Is root canal treatment painful?
Modern root canal treatment, done under local anesthesia, is generally no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. The pain people associate with root canals usually comes from the untreated infection itself, not the procedure.
How many visits does it take?
Root canal treatment is often completed in one to two visits, depending on the tooth and the complexity of the case.
Will I need a crown afterward?
In most cases, yes. The tooth becomes more brittle after treatment and needs the added protection a crown provides.
What happens if I skip treatment?
The infection can spread, cause an abscess, and eventually lead to tooth loss, likely requiring an extraction and additional restoration later.
