Root Canal Treatment in Kandivali West
A root canal treatment (RCT) removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, relieving pain and saving the natural tooth from extraction. At Dentoshield in Mahavir Nagar, Kandivali West, root canal treatments are performed by Dr. Rupesh Kale (BDS, MDS Endodontics), a specialist in this exact procedure, using modern rotary endodontic technique for a comfortable, often single-sitting treatment.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
- Severe, persistent toothache, especially while chewing
- Sharp sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swollen or tender gums near a tooth
- A darkened or discoloured tooth
- A recurring pimple on the gums
Our Approach
We use digital X-rays for accurate diagnosis, local anaesthesia for a pain-free procedure, and rotary instruments for precision — followed by a crown where needed to protect the treated tooth long-term.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
No — with modern anaesthesia, an RCT feels similar to getting a filling. Most patients feel far more relief afterward than they expected.
How many visits does it take?
Most root canals at Dentoshield are completed in a single sitting, depending on the tooth and severity of infection.
