Tooth pain and root canal
Pain often means decay has reached the soft centre of the tooth. A root canal cleans out that infected centre and seals it, so you keep your own tooth instead of losing it.

Your dentist: Dr. Sandhya Agrawal Pauranik
BDS (dental surgeon), with more than 30 years of practice. Registered with the Madhya Pradesh State Dental Council and a member of the Indian Dental Association. As listed on Practo and Justdial.
Aishwarya is a women-owned clinic (Google). Reviewers often call the doctor “mam” and talk about how gentle she is with fillings, crowns and tooth removal.
Treatments, in plain words
Tap “Ask about this” and we’ll fill in the booking form for you. Photos are illustrative stock images, not taken at this clinic.
A check-up
A look at every tooth and your gums, so small problems are caught before they hurt. Good once or twice a year, or whenever something feels different.
Cleaning and stain removal
Scaling removes tartar, the hard yellow crust that brushing can’t shift, plus tea and tobacco stains. It helps gums that bleed or smell.
A broken tooth or a cavity: fillings
A filling closes a hole or a chipped edge with tooth-coloured material, so food stops getting stuck and the tooth stops hurting when you eat something cold or sweet.
Crowns, bridges and implants
A crown is a cap that covers a weak or broken tooth. A bridge fills a gap by holding a false tooth between two caps. An implant is a small post fixed in the jaw that holds one new tooth. Ceramic crowns come up most often in patients’ reviews.
Missing teeth: dentures
Dentures are false teeth you can take out at night, either a full set or a partial one that fills a few gaps. They are made to fit your mouth over a few visits.
Taking out a tooth
When a tooth is too broken or loose to save, or a wisdom tooth is stuck and hurting, it can be removed. The area is numbed first, so you feel pressure, not pain.
Teeth whitening
A treatment that lightens yellowed teeth by a few shades. Best after a cleaning, and it works on natural teeth, not on caps or fillings.
Crooked or gapped teeth
Braces slowly move teeth into line over months. Reviewers mention treatment for irregular teeth here; ask what would suit your teeth and age.
Children’s teeth
Milk teeth matter: they hold space for the adult teeth. Bring your child for a first check-up, or sooner if they complain of pain or you see black spots.
Before & after care
Simple things to do before your visit and in the days after. General guidance only: always follow what your dentist tells you.
Before
- Eat a light meal first; you won’t want to chew for a few hours afterwards.
- Tell the doctor about every medicine you take, especially blood thinners, and about diabetes or high blood pressure.
- Bring any old X-rays or prescriptions.
After
- Bite gently on the cotton pad for as long as you’re told, usually 30 to 45 minutes.
- For the first day, don’t spit hard, rinse, smoke or drink through a straw. It protects the clot that helps healing.
- Eat soft, cool food (curd, khichdi, dal) and chew on the other side.
- Call the clinic if bleeding doesn’t slow down, or pain and swelling get worse after two days.
Before
- A root canal usually takes more than one sitting. Plan for that.
- Take any medicine the doctor prescribed before the visit, as told.
- Eat before you come; the numbness can last a couple of hours.
After
- Wait until the numbness wears off before eating, so you don’t bite your cheek.
- Don’t chew hard food on that tooth until the final filling or cap is done; it can crack.
- Some soreness for a few days is common. Call if there is swelling or the pain gets worse.
Before
- Brush well before the visit.
- Point out every spot that hurts with cold, hot or sweet food.
After
- Ask how long to wait before eating; it depends on the filling material used.
- A little sensitivity to cold for a few days is normal.
- If your bite feels high or uneven, come back. It’s a quick adjustment.
Before
- No special preparation. Brush as usual.
- Tell the doctor if your gums bleed often or if you are pregnant.
After
- Teeth can feel sensitive or a little loose for a few days as gums tighten. That passes.
- Go easy on tea, coffee, paan and tobacco for a day to keep stains away.
- Brush twice a day with a soft brush and clean between teeth.
Before
- A crown or bridge usually needs two visits: one to shape the tooth and take a mould, one to fix the cap.
- Ask about the material and colour options.
After
- With a temporary cap, avoid sticky food like chikki or toffee.
- Clean around the crown and under a bridge every day.
- If the bite feels wrong or the cap feels loose, call the clinic.
Before
- Dentures take a few visits: moulds, a trial fit, then the final set.
- Bring your old denture if you have one.
After
- Start with soft food cut into small pieces while you get used to them.
- Take them out at night and keep them in clean water.
- Sore spots are common at first. Come back for an adjustment rather than putting up with it.

It depends on what your teeth need, so fees aren’t listed here. Ask the doctor after the check-up; she will explain the options. Many reviewers mention reasonable charges.
The area is numbed first, so most people feel pressure rather than pain. Some soreness afterwards is normal for a few days. One patient wrote that they “didn’t feel any pain”.
