Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a dental procedure that saves an infected or damaged tooth. During the treatment, the infected nerve is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the root canal is then filled and sealed.
Why a Root Canal May Be Needed:
- Cracked or broken tooth
- Deep cavities
- Injury or trauma to the tooth

Root Canal Treatment at Agrim Dental Clinic, Kathmandu
A root canal is a dental procedure that specifically targets an infected or damaged tooth to save it from extraction. It removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the tooth’s interior, and seals it to restore health and function. This treatment preserves your natural tooth, allowing you to maintain normal chewing and a confident smile.
When Should You Consider a Root Canal?
The pulp inside your tooth is made of soft tissue, including nerves and blood vessels. If it becomes infected or inflamed, the pulp can specifically die, causing pain, sensitivity, and infection. Common signs that indicate you may need a root canal include:
- Persistent tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swelling or tenderness around the tooth
- Deep cavities or cracked teeth
In such cases, a root canal treatment is specifically recommended to save your natural tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know if you need a root canal?
A root canal may be needed if the soft pulp inside your tooth becomes infected. Common signs include tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, gum tenderness, or discoloration of the tooth. Your dentist will usually take an X-ray to confirm whether a root canal is necessary.
What does a root canal procedure include?
A root canal involves cleaning out the infected pulp inside the tooth, disinfecting the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection. In most cases, a crown is placed afterward to restore strength and function to the tooth.
Does the root canal procedure hurt?
With modern anesthetics and techniques, root canal treatment is usually no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most patients report relief from pain once the infection is treated.
What happens if an infected tooth is left untreated?
If untreated, the infection can spread to surrounding teeth, gums, and even the jawbone. This can cause severe pain, abscess formation, and may eventually require tooth extraction.
Is having the tooth extracted an option?
Yes, extraction is an option, but preserving your natural tooth is usually preferred. A root canal allows you to save the tooth, maintain proper chewing function, and avoid shifting of surrounding teeth.
Do you have to see an Endodontist or can a general dentist do the procedure?
Many general dentists can perform root canals, but complex cases are often referred to an endodontist, a specialist trained in treating the inside of the tooth for more precise and predictable outcomes.
