Root Canal Treatment (RCT) – Fillings
‘Root canal treatment’ as the name suggests is the treatment of canals of the teeth.
How does caries affect the tooth?
When the caries crosses the first two layers in a tooth, that is, the enamel and the dentine, it reaches the third layer of the tooth which consists of the nerves and the blood vessels. Since these nerves and blood vessels run throughout the tooth structure, the infection travels to the base of the tooth and causes the tooth to be sore.
How many canals does each tooth have?
These nerves run through the canals in the tooth and the number of canals can vary from tooth to tooth. The incisors and canines generally have have one canal, the premolars one or two canals and the molars generally have 3 canals.
Whats happens in Root Canal Treatment?
These canals are cleaned, shaped and disinfected. The infection in the canals is drained and the canal is filled with a thermoplastic material.
Root canal treatment can be completed in one or more sittings depending on the complexity of the canals and the infection present.
Do I need a Crown after the Root Canal Treatment is completed?
Once the RCT is completed, the tooth generally needs a crown to protect the tooth from fracture. For more information on crown you can read here.

Helpful Tips and Instructions
1. There may be some soreness of the tooth being treated for a few days after treatment.
2. Warm saline (1/2 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water) rinses are helpful in the healing process.
3. A tooth undergoing RCT is brittle & weak. Avoid chewing hard food on that tooth till such time as the treatment is complete with capping.
4. In case of excessive pain or discomfort, or if swelling should occur, please do not hesitate to call us at +91-9650715497 or +91-11-2216-4904.
5. It is advisable to have a crown fitted on the tooth where the RCT has been performed, after the treatment has been completed.
6. Please do not forget to take the medicines prescribed to you by your dentist.
7. Following completion of the RCT & Crown, please visit us for a check up once every three months.

Most Ethical Dental Surgeon
“Visited Dr. Sajili Mittal’s clinic a few years ago after having a number of “not good” experiences. Was a bit scared too initilally. But the way my problem was handled at her clinic made me so at ease, comfortable and relaxed.
At Dr. Sajili Mittal’s clinic, everything is explained in detail & giving all the possible options to be decided by the patient himself. Since my first visit, I never felt uncomfortable and always feel free to discuss even the smallest possible issues. Besides being a good dentist, Dr. Sajili Mittal, is a very good human being too. She makes her patients comfortable, understands their issues and accordingly suggests possible and affordable options ( NOT creating fear factor).
Besides, being highly experienced and knowledgeable, Dr. Sajili Mittal is a person of ETHICS and MORALITY which is rare to find these days in our society. My Best Wishes to Dr. Sajili Mittal.”

Very satisfied with Dental treatment
My wife Dr Roma Raj and I just walked into Citylife Dental for a complete dental check-up, soon after from the US. We found the clinic’s hygiene and comfort levels at par with any good clinic in the US. The doctor’s mannerisms were so good that we signed up with Citylife for our complete dental treatment plans and since then we have felt very satisfied with the treatment, rates, punctuality and professional approach of their team to our dental problems.
There are no short cuts in this clinic.
May God keep the healing touch of this centre alive for years to come.
Very professional treatment
The team here is both extremely professional and extremely kind and generous. Ashok and Sajili took wonderful care of me both with my gum surgery and my short stay in Delhi. They have gentle warm spirits. Thanks for everything from breakfast with chai to the gum graft itself!
