Understanding Root Canal
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp tissue, eliminates pain, and seals the tooth so it can function normally for years — without extraction.
Dr. Nazish will assess your case during your free consultation and explain whether this treatment is right for you — and exactly what it involves, at what cost, before anything begins.

What to expect
Diagnosis & X-ray
Digital X-ray confirms infection depth, root anatomy, and the number of canals involved.
Pulp removal
Infected tissue is removed under local anaesthetic — you feel pressure, not pain.
Canal shaping & disinfection
Canals are precisely shaped and irrigated with antiseptic solution to eliminate bacteria.
Sealing & crown
Canals are sealed with gutta-percha. A crown is placed on a separate visit to restore full function.
Why patients choose Dr. Nazish for Root Canal
Eliminates pain immediately
The procedure is done under anaesthetic. Once infected pulp is removed, the persistent ache stops.
Saves your natural tooth
An implant costs 5–8× more than a root canal. Preserving your own tooth is almost always the better option.
Completed in 1–2 visits
Most cases are done in a single session. Complex multi-rooted teeth may need a second visit.
Transparent pricing
Full cost is explained in writing before treatment begins. No hidden fees. No pressure.

Before & after your treatment
Before Treatment
- ›Take the prescribed antibiotic if Dr. Nazish has given you one before the appointment
- ›Eat beforehand — local anaesthetic may last 2–3 hours and eating will be uncomfortable
- ›Avoid alcohol 24 hours before treatment
- ›Get a good night's rest — arriving relaxed makes the procedure smoother
After Treatment
- ›Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the permanent crown is placed
- ›Take prescribed pain relief as directed — discomfort typically resolves within 2–3 days
- ›Mild swelling around the gum is normal for 24–48 hours
- ›Return for the crown appointment as soon as possible — an unsealed root canal is vulnerable

Common questions about Root Canal
Is a root canal painful?
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic — you feel pressure, not pain. Post-procedure discomfort is managed with standard pain relief.
How many visits does it take?
Most cases are completed in 1–2 visits. Complex cases or severe infection may require 3 visits.
What happens if I don't treat it?
The infection spreads to surrounding bone. The tooth becomes unrestorable and extraction — then an implant — becomes the only option.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Yes, in most cases. A crown protects the weakened tooth from fracture. Without it, the tooth can crack under normal biting force.
How long does a root-canal treated tooth last?
With a good crown and proper oral hygiene, decades. Root canal treatment is one of the most reliable procedures in dentistry.
Can I go to work after the procedure?
Most patients can. Avoid demanding physical work for the rest of the day. Swelling and soreness are manageable with standard pain relief.
