Frequently Asked Questions
You may need a root canal if you experience persistent pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or gum tenderness. A dental X-ray can confirm the extent of infection.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during treatment. Mild discomfort or swelling after the procedure is normal and temporary.
Typically, it takes one or two sittings depending on the severity of infection and the tooth condition.
Delaying treatment may lead to severe pain, swelling, or infection spread to surrounding areas, possibly resulting in tooth loss.
Complications are rare but may include mild soreness or inflammation, which subsides with proper care and medication.
The cost varies based on infection level and tooth type. Typically, it ranges between ₹2,000 to ₹10,000 for the treatment, excluding crown charges.
Reinfection is rare but possible if the filling cracks or new decay occurs. Regular dental check-ups help maintain long-term results.
Avoid hard or sticky foods for a few days and maintain good oral hygiene. Schedule follow-up visits to ensure the tooth heals properly.
Most dental insurance plans cover part or all of the cost of medically necessary root canal treatments. Check with your provider for details.
