When decay or infection reaches the soft tissue (pulp) inside a tooth, it can cause significant pain — and if left untreated, the tooth may eventually need to be extracted. Root canal (endodontic) treatment removes the infected tissue, cleans the canal, and seals the tooth, relieving pain while keeping your natural tooth in place.
This is a particular area of specialization for Dr. Lashin, who holds a Master's degree in Endodontics from Ain Shams University.
When you might need this
- Sharp or throbbing pain in a tooth

Your treatment journey
- 01
Diagnosis
An exam and X-ray confirm the infection and its extent.
- 02
Numbing & access
The area is numbed, and a small opening gives access to the infected pulp.
- 03
Cleaning & shaping
Infected tissue is removed and the canal is carefully cleaned and shaped.
- 04
Sealing & restoration
The canal is sealed and the tooth is restored, often with a crown for lasting strength.
Investment
Root canal pricing depends on the tooth and number of canals — confirmed after diagnosis.
