What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment (RCT), also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infection inside a tooth. When bacteria reach the soft tissue (pulp) inside your tooth — due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or repeated dental procedures — the pulp becomes inflamed or infected. Left untreated, this can cause severe pain, abscesses, and eventual tooth loss.
At Dr. Jinny's Dental Clinic in Shela, Ahmedabad, root canal treatment is performed using modern rotary endodontic instruments and precise anaesthesia techniques. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment
- Severe, spontaneous toothache — especially at night
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold even after the stimulus is removed
- Darkening or discolouration of the tooth
- Swelling, tenderness, or a pimple-like bump on the gums near the tooth
- Pain when chewing or applying pressure
- Cracked or chipped tooth causing sensitivity
- Deep cavity visible on X-ray reaching the pulp
If you notice any of these symptoms, don't wait. Call 7874 483 483 — tooth pain gets a priority appointment at our clinic in Shela.
The Root Canal Treatment Process at Dr. Jinny's Clinic
At our clinic in Shela, every root canal follows a precise, patient-centric process:
Diagnosis & X-Ray
We take a digital X-ray to assess the extent of infection and plan your treatment precisely.
Local Anaesthesia
A gentle injection numbs the tooth and surrounding area completely. You may feel pressure, but it should not hurt.
Pulp Removal
The infected pulp is carefully removed using modern rotary files. The canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.
Canal Filling
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) and sealed to prevent re-infection.
Crown Placement
A dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore strength and protect it from fracture.

Yes, a crown is strongly recommended after RCT to protect the weakened tooth structure and restore full biting strength. Without a crown, the treated tooth is more likely to crack over time.
Wait until the numbness wears off (2–3 hours) before eating. Avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy foods on the treated side. Soft foods like dal, khichdi, and yogurt are fine.
