Root Canal treatment to save your natural tooth – Thane
By Dr. Preeti Kulkarni
Tooth pain (preventing tooth loss) and sensitivity to hot and cold food as well as discomfort when biting can be symptoms of an underlying dental disorder. When decay or injury reaches the soft pulp inside a tooth, root canal treatment may be recommended to overcome the infection, relieve pain and to keep the natural tooth healthy. Creative Smiles provides endodontic care in Thane using both scientific research and modern dental treatment methods to make treatment comfortable and effective.
What is root canal treatment?

A root canal is a dental treatment for when the inner pulp of a tooth is infected or severely damaged. Deep decay, cracks (to the teeth) or dental injuries can allow bacteria to reach the pulp; inflammation and infection can occur.
The infected pulp is removed in an effective manner during root canal treatment and the tooth is cleaned and disinfected before the root canals are sealed. The tooth can then be restored to maintain its integrity and function. A root canal is the process of saving the natural tooth rather than pulling it out.
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
Not all toothaches warrant root canal treatment at this time of year but some symptoms should not be ignored. You may need a dental evaluation if you have persistent or severe tooth pain.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks
- Pain while biting or chewing
- Swelling or tenderness around the tooth
- Tooth damage caused by an injury
- Deep tooth decay
Creative Smiles uses X-ray and clinical examination to detect tooth decay and infection and to recommend treatment.
Are root canal treatments painful?
Many people don’t want to have root canal treatment because they associate it with pain. But modern dental treatments have improved with dental technology and local anesthesia and better treatment techniques, and root canal treatments are becoming much less painful.
Creative Smiles is about comfort and pain management. A bit of tenderness can still result after treatment, but this generally goes away a few days later.
The treatment of root canal generally involves several steps:
Examination and diagnosis: The dentist checks the tooth and may use X-rays to see the condition of the roots.
Local Anaesthesia: You are numbed in the area. The infected pulp in the tooth is removed from the tooth and the pulp inside is also removed. The root canals are thoroughly cleaned and prepared.
Sealing: The cleaned canals are filled and sealed to avoid infection.
Restoration: Depending on the tooth condition, a filling or crown may be recommended to restore strength and function.
Root Canal Cost in Thane
The cost of root canal treatment in Thane depends on the tooth being treated, the number and shape of its roots, the complexity of the infection and the need to do additional procedures.
