root canal treatment to save infected and painful teeth

Root canal treatment is performed to save a tooth when the inner pulp becomes infected, inflamed, or severely damaged. At Gupta Dental Clinic, Lucknow, we provide safe and effective root canal treatment to remove infection, relieve pain, and preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.

Under the care of Dr. Awadhesh Gupta, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the canal is sealed properly. This treatment helps stop pain and infection while restoring the function of the tooth. Root canal treatment is often the best way to save a tooth that might otherwise need extraction.
