Root Canal Treatment in Hayathnagar

A root canal saves a tooth whose inner pulp is infected or badly inflamed. The infected tissue is removed, the canals are cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is then protected with a crown. At DRS Dental Hospital, root canals and the crowns that follow are done in the same clinic.

Signs you may need one

  • Lingering pain with hot or cold food
  • Pain when chewing or biting
  • Swelling or a small boil on the gum near a tooth
  • A tooth that has darkened after an injury

The treatment, step by step

  • 1

    Examination and X-ray to confirm the diagnosis

  • 2

    The tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia

  • 3

    Infected pulp removed, canals cleaned and shaped

  • 4

    Canals filled and sealed

  • 5

    A crown placed to protect the tooth, often zirconia

Many root canals are finished in one or two visits, depending on the infection.

Recovery

The tooth may feel tender for a few days. Most people go back to normal activities the same day.

Cost

The cost depends on the tooth and the type of crown. We explain the options and cost before treatment starts.

Common questions

  • Is a root canal painful? The tooth is numbed, so most people feel little more than during a filling.
  • Do I need a crown after? Usually yes, especially for back teeth, so the tooth does not crack.
  • Is extraction better? Saving your natural tooth is usually better. If a tooth cannot be saved, we explain replacement with an implant.
