What is Endodontics?
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that saves teeth from the inside. When the soft pulp deep within a tooth — the nerve and blood supply — becomes infected or damaged by decay, a crack, or injury, endodontic treatment removes the infection and saves the tooth, rather than removing it. The best-known endodontic procedure is root canal treatment.
The goal of endodontics is always to keep your natural tooth. A tooth saved with a root canal, and protected with a crown, can last for many years — which is almost always better for your bite, your bone, and your budget than an extraction.
At Malhotra Dental Clinic in Vaishali Nagar, endodontic care is provided by Dr. Anuj Malhotra — BDS, MDS and a Fellow of the ICOI (USA) — using gentle, precise techniques and strict sterilisation. The biggest myth is that it hurts; in fact, treatment relieves the pain of an infected tooth. Explore our endodontic services below.
When You May Need Root Canal Care
An infected tooth won't heal on its own. These are the signs worth acting on early.
Severe or Throbbing Toothache
Deep, persistent pain, especially when chewing or lying down, often means the nerve is infected and won't settle without treatment.
Lingering Hot & Cold Sensitivity
Sensitivity that lingers after the hot or cold is gone can signal pulp damage, not just a sensitive tooth — worth checking early.
Swelling or a Gum Boil
Swelling near a tooth or a pimple-like boil on the gum points to infection draining from the root and needs prompt care.
A Darkening Tooth
A tooth turning grey often means the nerve inside has died. Treating it saves the tooth before the infection spreads to the bone.
Pain When Biting
Sharp pain on biting or touching a tooth can indicate infection or a crack reaching the nerve, and should be assessed with an X-ray.
A Failed Old Root Canal
A previously treated tooth that's painful again isn't lost — it can often be saved with retreatment rather than removal.
What to Expect at Your Visit
How we save your tooth, comfortably.
- 20–30 min
Consultation & X-ray
We examine the tooth and take a digital X-ray (RVG) to see the infection and root shape, then explain the plan and cost up front.
- 45 - 60 min
Numbing & Cleaning
Fully numbed, we remove the infected pulp and clean and disinfect the canals.
- 30 - 45 min
Sealing
The canals are sealed to prevent re-infection; many cases finish in one sitting.
- follow-up visit
The Crown
A crown protects the treated tooth and restores full chewing strength for the long term.
Typical care: most root canals completed in 1–2 visits. Recovery: Mild tenderness for a day or two, easily managed; usually back to routine the same day.

Is a root canal painful?
No — this is the most common myth in dentistry. A root canal relieves the pain of an infected tooth. With modern techniques and proper local anaesthesia the procedure is comfortable, similar to a filling, and you leave free of the pain you came in with.
