Root Canal Therapy in Ahmedabad
A severely damaged or infected tooth doesn’t always need to be extracted. At Vora Dental Clinic, we provide advanced root canal therapy designed to remove infection, relieve pain, and preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a restorative dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth.
Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called the dental pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, trauma, cracks, or repeated dental procedures, root canal treatment may be necessary.
During the procedure, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent future infection.
A root canal may be recommended if the inner pulp of your tooth becomes infected or damaged.

- Deep tooth decay
