Root canal treatment in Indore, by a specialist who saves teeth
Root canals are the most common reason patients come to us, and the most common thing they write about afterwards: “it didn’t hurt”. Treatment is led by Dr. Sohini Jain, an MDS endodontist.

ProfileWhat it is
Inside every tooth is soft tissue called the pulp. When deep decay, a crack or an old filling lets bacteria reach it, the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, and that is what causes the throbbing, sleepless kind of toothache.
A root canal removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the canals, and seals them. The tooth stays in your mouth, keeps working, and is usually protected with a crown afterwards. Keeping your natural tooth is almost always better than extracting it and replacing it.
Your options
Single-sitting RCT
For suitable cases, the entire root canal is completed in one visit.
Multi-visit RCT
For severe infection, treatment is staged so the tooth can settle between visits.
Re-treatment
Failed or painful old root canals are re-opened, re-cleaned and re-sealed.
How treatment works
- 01
Diagnosis
Examination and an X-ray to see the roots, the infection and whether the tooth can be saved.
- 02
Numbing
Local anaesthesia so the area is fully numb before any work starts.
- 03
Cleaning the canals
Infected pulp is removed and the canals are cleaned, shaped and disinfected.
- 04
Sealing
Canals are filled and sealed so bacteria cannot return.
- 05
Crown
Most treated back teeth get a crown to protect them from cracking.
Patients on root canal treatment
In their own words.
I got my RCT done by Sohini maam and she did it thoroughly and meticulously with upmost professionalism. Many dentist outright denied possibility of saving my tooth but she did save my tooth from being extracted. Highly recommended!
Excellent service and highly skilled doctors! I highly recommend Dr. Sohini for RCT; she managed a single-sitting root canal for me that was totally painless and well-explained. I also had a great experience with Dr. Brijish for a wisdom tooth extraction. Both doctors are professional, comforting, and provide excellent treatment.
Dr. Sohini Jain is one of the best dentists my family has come across. My father had a tooth ache and was advised to go for extraction by a doctor but Dr Jain considered all his conditions and advised for root canal instead and immediately fixed the issue. She really goes an extra mile to ensure that you get the right treatment that is really required.
I took my mom to The Shining 32 Dental Clinic for her root canal treatment, and we had a really great experience. Dr. Sohini Jain and Dr. Brijesh Patel are very friendly, caring, and skilled, which made my mom feel completely comfortable. The treatment was smooth, painless, and the clinic is very well maintained.
I visit there with a huge infected teeth and my previous doc suggested me for teeth implantation. But dr Sohini ma'am take the process very smoothly and she did the root canal and save my teeth. There was no need of any implantation.
I recently had my root canal treatment with Sohini Jain ma'am at the Shining 32 clinic. I was quite nervous about the procedure as I'm already undergoing braces treatment but her professional and calm demeanor immediately put me at ease.
FAQ
Root Canal Treatment: your questions.
Does a root canal hurt?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. “Painless” is the single most common word in our patients’ root canal reviews. Mild soreness for a day or two afterwards is normal and manageable with ordinary painkillers.
Can a root canal be done in one sitting?
Yes, in many cases. Whether your tooth suits single-sitting treatment depends on the infection and the anatomy of the roots, which your dentist will check on the X-ray first.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Back teeth usually do, because a root-canal-treated tooth is more brittle and can crack under chewing forces. Front teeth sometimes need only a filling. Your dentist will advise based on how much tooth structure remains.
Another dentist told me to extract the tooth. Can it be saved?
Often, yes. Many of our patients came for a second opinion after being told extraction was the only option. A specialist assessment will tell you honestly whether the tooth can be saved.
