From Decay to Relief: Your Journey Through a Root Canal at Sood Dental
Tooth pain can disrupt your daily life—making it hard to eat, talk, or even sleep. Often, this pain is caused by untreated tooth decay that has spread deep into the tooth’s pulp, leading to infection. While many people panic at the thought of a root canal, the truth is that this treatment is the very thing that can save your tooth and end your pain.
At Sood Dental Care & Implant Centre, led by Dr. Isha Sood (BDS, MDS, Dental Surgeon – 10+ years of experience), root canal treatment is performed with advanced technology and a gentle, patient-focused approach. The result? A smooth journey that takes you from decay to lasting relief.
Stage 1: When Decay Begins
Tooth decay doesn’t happen overnight. It usually starts small—a cavity that might not even hurt at first. Over time, if untreated, the decay reaches deeper layers of the tooth. Once it touches the pulp (the soft tissue with nerves and
blood vessels), pain, sensitivity, and swelling often follow.
Signs you may need a root canal:
- Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold foods
- Swelling or tenderness in gums
- Darkening of the tooth
- Abscess or pus formation
Stage 2: Diagnosis at Sood Dental Care & Implant Centre
At your first visit, Dr. Isha Sood conducts a thorough examination. Using digital X-rays and modern diagnostic tools, the team can see exactly how far the infection has spread. Clear explanations are given to ensure you understand why a root canal is necessary and how it will help.
This is also the stage where many patients feel nervous—but reassurance, guidance, and patient education are central to the care approach at Sood Dental.
Stage 3: The Procedure – Step by Step
1. Anesthesia for Comfort
The journey begins with local anesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding area. This ensures a completely pain-free experience. Patients often compare it to getting a filling.
2. Accessing the Infected Pulp
A small opening is made to reach the inner pulp. Using precision tools, the infected tissue is removed carefully.
3. Cleaning and Shaping
The root canals are cleaned thoroughly and shaped for filling. At Sood Dental, advanced rotary instruments and disinfectants are used to ensure bacteria are eliminated.
4. Sealing the Tooth
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. This seals the tooth and prevents reinfection.
5. Final Restoration
Depending on the tooth’s condition, a crown or filling is placed. A crown provides extra strength and durability, especially for molars that handle heavy chewing
Stage 4: Recovery and Aftercare
After the procedure, some mild sensitivity may occur for a couple of days, but it usually subsides quickly. Pain relief is almost immediate since the infection causing the discomfort has been removed.
Tips for recovery:
- Take prescribed or recommended pain relievers if needed.
- Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until fully restored.
- Maintain good oral hygiene—brushing, flossing, and rinsing.
- Visit Sood Dental Care & Implant Centre for follow-ups.
The Relief: Life After a Root Canal
The biggest reward of this journey is the relief patients feel once the procedure is over. No more throbbing pain, no more sleepless nights, and no risk of the infection spreading. Patients regain confidence in their smile and can enjoy their favorite foods again.
