What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure that treats infection or damage within the inner part of the tooth, known as the pulp. Infection in this area can cause severe pain and swelling, and if untreated, may lead to tooth loss. Dr Shireen Khan’s root canal treatment involves removing the infected pulp, thoroughly disinfecting the area, and sealing the tooth to prevent future problems. The goal is to save your natural tooth and restore full function and comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Common Questions About Dr. Shireen Khan’s Services

Is root canal treatment painful?

No. With effective local anaesthesia and advanced techniques, the procedure is comfortable. Most patients feel relief almost immediately following treatment.

A standard root canal typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. In more complex cases, a second appointment may be necessary.

Yes, in most cases. A crown helps reinforce the treated tooth and prevents future breakage.

Delaying treatment can result in worsening infection, increased pain and potential tooth loss. It is always best to treat the issue promptly.

With good oral hygiene and routine check-ups, a root canal-treated tooth can last many years, often a lifetime.
