About this appointment
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a restorative procedure designed to save a tooth that has become severely infected or damaged. When the nerve inside your tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental work, root canal treatment removes the affected nerve tissue and carefully cleans and seals the canal system. This procedure relieves pain and eliminates the infection, allowing you to keep your natural tooth rather than requiring extraction. At Dental Touch in Peshawar, Dr. Salman Ahmad uses advanced techniques to make the procedure as comfortable and efficient as possible, ensuring your tooth function and appearance are preserved for years to come.
For families in Peshawar who prioritize both health and aesthetics, root canal treatment is an investment in maintaining your natural smile. Rather than losing a tooth to infection, treatment allows you to keep the tooth and continue eating and speaking normally.

Before your visit
Before your root canal appointment at Dental Touch, avoid chewing on the affected tooth and try to keep the area as clean as possible. Take any prescribed pain relief medication as directed. Eat soft foods and avoid very hot or cold foods on the day of treatment. Plan to have someone available for transportation if you receive sedation. Arrive a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork, and bring a list of any current medications you are taking. If you experience severe pain or swelling before your appointment, contact the clinic so we can advise you.Root Canal Treatment — Nerve Treatment questions, answered
- How much does a root canal cost in Peshawar?
- Root canal treatment at Dental Touch on Nasir Bagh Road starts from PKR 10,000. The cost depends on which tooth is involved and how many canals it has, and is confirmed before treatment.
- Is a root canal painful?
- The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so it should feel similar to having a filling. Most patients find it relieves the pain they arrived with.
- How many visits does a root canal take?
- Most cases are completed in one to two visits. Dr. Salman Ahmad will tell you which applies after examining and X-raying the tooth.
- Will I need a crown afterwards?
- A treated tooth is often more brittle, so a crown is commonly recommended to protect it. We will discuss whether your tooth needs one and what that adds to the cost.
- Is it better to extract the tooth instead?
- Keeping a natural tooth is usually preferable where it can be saved, since extraction creates a gap that may need an implant or bridge later. We will explain both options honestly.
