When you may need a root canal.
A root canal treats infection or damage inside the tooth so you can keep your natural tooth.
Persistent toothache
Pain that lingers or wakes you at night.
Lingering sensitivity
Hot or cold sensitivity that stays after the stimulus is gone.
Pain on biting
Tenderness when chewing or pressing on the tooth.
Gum swelling
Swelling or a small bump on the gum near the tooth.
A darkening tooth
A tooth that changes colour after injury or decay.
Deep decay or a crack
Damage that reaches the inner pulp of the tooth.
These signs can have other causes. Only an examination and X-ray can confirm whether you need a root canal.
Seeing the fine detail inside your tooth.
Magnified view
The microscope enlarges the tooth many times, so the dentist can see tiny canal openings and fine detail.
Brighter, focused light
Light shines directly into the tooth, making it easier to see deep inside narrow canals.
Finding hidden canals
Some teeth, especially back teeth, have extra or very narrow canals that are easy to miss without magnification.
Spotting cracks
Magnification helps the dentist see fine cracks that may affect the treatment plan.
Conservative care
Clearer vision helps preserve healthy tooth structure while removing infection.
Re-treatment
Helps when an earlier root canal needs to be cleaned again or a blocked canal needs to be reached.

How a microscope root canal is done.
- Diagnosis: examination and X-ray to confirm the problem and plan treatment.
- Anaesthesia: the tooth is numbed so you stay comfortable.
- Isolation and access: the tooth is kept clean and dry, and a small opening is made.
- Cleaning and shaping under the microscope: infected pulp is removed and each canal is located, cleaned and shaped with magnified vision.
- Sealing: the cleaned canals are filled and sealed.
- Restoration: the tooth is rebuilt with a filling or a crown to protect it. See our prosthodontic services for crowns.

Frequently asked questions.
What is microscope root canal treatment?
Microscope root canal treatment is a root canal performed using a dental microscope that magnifies and lights the inside of the tooth, so the dentist can clean and seal the canals more precisely.
Does Smylife Dental offer microscope root canal treatment in Bangalore?
Yes. Smylife Dental on Sarjapur Main Road, Bangalore performs root canals under a dental microscope, provided by root canal specialists Dr. Veena, Dr. Aishika Paul and Dr. Harshini Reddy.
Why is a microscope used for root canal treatment?
A dental microscope magnifies and lights the tooth, helping the dentist find and clean fine canals more precisely and preserve healthy tooth structure.
Is a root canal under a microscope better?
Magnification helps the dentist see more detail inside the tooth, which supports precision. Success also depends on the tooth, the infection and the final restoration, and your dentist will explain what to expect.
Is a root canal painful?
With local anaesthesia, the procedure itself should be comfortable. The treatment relieves the pain caused by the infected tooth, though mild soreness afterwards is common.
Who does root canal treatment at Smylife Dental?
Root canal treatment at Smylife Dental is provided by root canal specialists Dr. Veena, Dr. Aishika Paul and Dr. Harshini Reddy. Dr. Veena and Dr. Aishika Paul hold an MDS in Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics.
How many visits does a root canal take?
Many can be completed in one to a few visits, depending on the tooth and the infection. Your dentist will explain what to expect.
How much does a root canal cost in Bangalore?
The cost depends on the tooth, how complex its canals are and whether a crown is needed. After examining you, we explain the plan and fees clearly before treatment.
Can a microscope help with a root canal re-treatment?
Yes. Magnification and light can help the dentist see and reach canals when an earlier root canal needs to be cleaned again. Dr. Aishika Paul specialises in root canal treatment and re-treatment.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Often yes, especially for back teeth, because a treated tooth can be weaker. Your dentist will advise what suits your tooth. See our prosthodontic services for crowns.
What are the signs that I need a root canal?
Persistent toothache, lingering hot or cold sensitivity, pain on biting, gum swelling, a darkening tooth or deep decay can all be signs. Only an examination and X-ray can confirm it.
What happens if I delay a root canal?
Infection can spread, causing pain, swelling and abscess, and the tooth may eventually be lost. Early treatment gives the best chance of saving it.
Can I eat after a root canal?
You can eat once the anaesthesia wears off, but avoid chewing hard foods on the tooth until it is fully restored.
Is a root canal better than pulling the tooth?
Where a tooth can be saved and restored, a root canal keeps your natural tooth, bite and neighbouring teeth supported. If it cannot be saved, we can discuss replacement options such as dental implants.
Does a root canal make you ill?
Current guidance from dental organisations does not support the claim that root canal treatment causes illness elsewhere in the body.
