A specialised procedure best handled by trained endodontists, offering painless, affordable care to treat infection and save your natural tooth.
Worried that a root canal (RCT) is painful?
Modern RCT at Clove Dental is completely painless with local anesthesia and advanced rotary tools. It removes infection, saves your natural tooth, and helps you chew comfortably again all in a stress-free experience.
Root canal treatment is suitable at any age from children with deep decay to older adults. RCT remains the most effective way to save a natural tooth when infection reaches the inner layers.
A root canal is needed when decay, injury, or infection reaches the tooth’s inner pulp, causing pain, sensitivity, or swelling. The infected tissue is removed, the canals are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sealed, and the tooth is later strengthened with a crown to restore full function.
Most treatments are completed in 1–2 sittings and are performed by endodontists or certified dentists trained in advanced root canal techniques.
This procedure saves your natural tooth, stops infection from spreading, relieves discomfort, and helps you chew comfortably again. Clove Dental uses rotary endodontics, digital imaging, and gentle, predictable techniques for a comfortable, long-lasting result.
A root canal works by eliminating infection from inside the tooth and protecting it from recurring damage.
Digital X-rays help determine the exact depth of the canals, while rotary endodontic tools ensure precise cleaning and shaping. Once disinfected, the canals are tightly sealed to block bacteria. Finally, a crown reinforces the tooth for durability, restoring natural function and appearance.
Note: At Clove Dental, we use precision imaging and rotary endodontics to make your RCT painless, predictable, and long-lasting.
Digital X-rays, apex locators, rotary endodontics & lasers ensure highly precise treatment.

When Is a Filling Enough?
A filling works only for small, early cavities. If decay is limited to the outer layers of the tooth and there is no constant pain, a filling can stop the problem early.
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
When decay reaches the tooth nerve, a root canal is required. It removes infection, relieves pain, and saves your natural tooth—usually in 1–2 comfortable visits.
Extraction: The Last Resort
Extracting a tooth should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Tooth loss leads to bone loss, shifting teeth, food lodgement, and future dental problems. Replacing a tooth later can cost up to 5× more and may involve surgery.
Choose wisely and act quickly. Saving your natural tooth is more affordable and better for your long-term health.
Endodontists are specially trained to understand complex tooth anatomy and accurately identify infection. Back teeth often have multiple canals, making expert-led root canal treatment essential for safe and predictable results.

Common questions about Root canal treatment
A root canal removes infection from inside the tooth while preserving your natural tooth structure. It helps restore comfortable chewing, maintains your natural bite, and prevents the need for extraction and replacement.
At Clove Dental, root canal treatments are performed using modern techniques and precision technology, achieving success rates of over 97%. Preserving your natural tooth allows your smile to function and feel better than any artificial alternative.
Extraction removes your tooth permanently, which can lead to neighboring teeth shifting, bone loss, and chewing problems. Replacing it with an implant or bridge costs more than a root canal. Saving your natural tooth is almost always the better choice.
A filling only works for surface cavities. When infection reaches the tooth’s inner pulp and nerves, a filling can’t fix it. The infection will continue spreading and causing pain. A root canal removes the infection and saves your tooth.
Most cases are completed in 1–2 sittings. Complex infections or multiple canals may require additional visits as decided by the endodontist.
You can eat once the numbness wears off. Avoid hard or sticky foods on the treated side until the crown is placed.
Delaying can lead to:
Early treatment ensures faster healing and less complexity.
