Root Canal Treatment in Sector 49, Gurgaon
The real question behind root canal treatment in Sector 49, Gurgaon is usually simple: can this tooth be saved, or does it have to come out? In most cases a tooth with an infected or badly inflamed nerve can be kept. At OralH Dental Clinic on Sohna Road, the infected tissue is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed, and you keep your own tooth.

Signs that the nerve may be in trouble
- Pain from hot or cold that lingers after the food has gone
- A throbbing ache that wakes you at night
- Pain when you bite on one particular tooth
- A small pimple-like bump on the gum beside a tooth
- A tooth that has turned darker than its neighbours
Sometimes there is no pain at all and an X-ray is the first clue. If the pain suddenly stops, do not relax: the nerve may have died while the infection carries on.
Saving the tooth or taking it out
Removing a tooth can feel like the quicker fix, but the gap then has to be dealt with, usually by an implant or a bridge. Your own root is hard to improve on, so saving it is normally worth trying. A tooth may not be saveable if it is split, if too little of it remains, or if the bone around it has been badly damaged. You will be told honestly which applies after the examination.
What the appointments involve
An X-ray shows the shape of the roots and how far the infection has spread. The tooth is then numbed fully, and most patients feel pressure, not pain. The nerve tissue is taken out, and the canals are cleaned, shaped and sealed so that bacteria cannot return. Some teeth are finished in one sitting. A larger infection or a tooth with several canals may need a second visit.
Why a crown so often follows
A back tooth that has been heavily filled and root-treated can become brittle and may crack under chewing. A crown holds it together and protects the work you have just had done. Until it is on, avoid biting hard on that side.
After treatment
Some tenderness on biting for a few days is normal and settles with simple pain relief. Swelling, or pain that gets worse instead of better, is a reason to call.

Frequently asked questions
Does a root canal hurt?
The tooth is numbed before work begins, so most people feel pressure, not pain. It is usually the infection beforehand that hurts.
How many sittings does it take?
One or two for most teeth. It depends on the tooth, the number of canals and how much infection there is.
Can antibiotics fix the tooth instead?
They may calm a flare-up, but they cannot clear the infection from inside the tooth. The source still has to be treated.
How long does a root-treated tooth last?
With a good seal, a crown where needed and regular care, a treated tooth can last for many years.
