Tooth pain can be one of the most disturbing experiences — it makes it hard to eat, talk, or even sleep. Many patients who visit Partha Dental in Kothapet come with the same complaint:
“Doctor, the pain keeps coming back… even painkillers are not helping.”
This usually happens when a cavity or infection reaches the inner nerve of the tooth. Once the nerve is infected, the pain becomes sharp, throbbing, and constant. At this stage, the most effective and scientific way to save the tooth is a root canal treatment.
At Partha Dental, we perform advanced root canal treatment in Kothapet to remove the infection, stop the pain, and protect the tooth from future damage — all while keeping the natural tooth intact. Most patients feel immediate relief after the procedure and are surprised by how comfortable the treatment actually is.
What Exactly Is a Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that involves the extraction of the infected soft tissue (the nerve inside the tooth), cleaning, and disinfection of the root canal, and sealing it to prevent any further infections. The misunderstanding is quite common among patients that root canal treatment is equivalent to extraction, whereas it is not so. The intention behind RCT is always tooth preservation, not extraction.
Inside the tooth, there is a soft tissue called the pulp. When this pulp is infected due to a deep cavity or injury, it causes:
Severe tooth pain
Sensitivity to hot and cold
Pain while chewing
Swelling
Gum infection
Root canal treatment removes this infection and relieves the pain permanently.
Common Symptoms That Indicate You Need a Root Canal
If you experience any of the following, you may require RCT:
Severe toothache, especially at night
Pain while biting or chewing
Sensitivity that lingers for several seconds
Gum swelling near a tooth
Dark or black cavity
Foul taste in the mouth
Swelling on the face
Recurring infection or pus
These are signs of nerve infection, and delaying treatment can worsen the condition.

This is the most asked question: Will the procedure hurt?
Partha Dental implements state-of-the-art rotary technology and pain-free localized anesthesia for Root Canal Treatment (RCT). No pain will be felt because the complete area of the tooth will be numbed before the operation. The majority of patients are amazed by the high level of comfort during the procedure.
Patients often say, “Doctor, it was so smooth. I was scared for no reason.”
Pain disappears after RCT, not during it.
Single-Sitting Root Canal in Kothapet
Earlier, RCT required multiple visits. Today, Partha Dental offers single-sitting root canal treatment for most cases. This is especially helpful for:
Working professionals
Students
Busy parents
Patients with time limitations
People with sudden severe tooth pain
Single-sitting RCT is quick, hygienic, comfortable, and highly successful.
How Root Canal Treatment Is Done at Partha Dental Kothapet
Step 1: Examination and X-ray
The dentist checks the tooth and takes an X-ray to see how deep the infection is.
Step 2: Numbing the Tooth
Local anesthesia ensures the tooth becomes completely numb.
Step 3: Removing the Infection
The infected nerve and bacteria inside the tooth are removed using a rotary instrument.
Step 4: Cleaning and Disinfection
The inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to ensure all germs are eliminated.
Step 5: Filling the Root
The roots are filled with a biocompatible material that seals the tooth from inside.
Step 6: Crown Placement
A dental crown protects the tooth from cracking or breaking. It is the final step after RCT.
Why Is a Crown Needed After Root Canal?
After RCT, the tooth becomes slightly brittle because the nerve is removed. A crown (cap) protects the tooth from:
Cracks
Fractures
Sensitivity
Heavy chewing pressure
Without a crown, the tooth may break later. This is why crown placement is strongly recommended.
How Long Does Root Canal Treatment Take?
The time varies depending on the infection:
Single-sitting RCT: 30 to 45 minutes
Two-visit RCT: 45 to 60 minutes
Crown placement: 2 to 3 days
Most patients from Kothapet finish the entire treatment within the same week.
Is Extraction Better Than RCT? A Common Doubt
Some patients ask, “Why not remove the tooth instead of doing RCT?”
Extraction is cheaper initially but more expensive later because missing teeth cause:
Difficulty in chewing
Shifting of nearby teeth
Bone loss in the jaw
Need for implants or bridges
Saving your natural tooth is always the best option, and RCT does exactly that.
