Your Root Canal Procedure
Cleaning
The area is numbed with local anaesthesia, an access hole is made, and the infected pulp is removed.
Filling
The cleaned canal is filled with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha, sealing it to prevent future infection.
Restoration
The tooth is restored with a crown or filling, protecting it and restoring full function.
What Root Canal Treatment Costs
The cost of root canal treatment, including the crown, ranges from around Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 10,000 per tooth. Your dentist will confirm the exact cost for your case at your consultation.
Caring for Your Tooth After Treatment
Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until it has been fully restored with a permanent crown or filling. Maintain excellent oral hygiene, brushing gently around the area, and keep up with regular dental check-ups so your dentist can confirm the tooth is healing well.
Addressing the Fear of Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment has a reputation for being uncomfortable that is largely out of date. Modern local anaesthesia keeps the procedure itself comfortable, and most patients find it feels similar to having a filling. The pain people associate with root canals is usually the infection that made treatment necessary in the first place, treatment itself is what relieves that pain.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
Persistent tooth pain, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling near a tooth, or a tooth that has darkened can all be signs that the pulp inside is infected or inflamed. If you notice any of these, it is worth having the tooth assessed sooner rather than later, since early treatment is usually simpler.
