Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment removes infected tissue from inside a tooth, cleans the canals and seals them. It aims to retain a tooth that might otherwise need removal.
Meet Dr. Pankaj Gandhi
When might you need it?
- An infected tooth identified on examination
- Deep decay or tooth damage affecting the pulp
A consultation establishes whether this treatment is suitable for you.
What to expect
- Examine the tooth and discuss whether it can be retained.
- Use local anaesthesia, clean the canals and seal them.
- Restore the tooth with a filling or crown when appropriate.
Aftercare & follow-up
- Attend the planned follow-up and final restoration visit.
- Contact the clinic if symptoms worsen rather than settle.
Your dentist will provide instructions suited to your treatment and recovery.
Before your visit
Is a crown always needed?
It depends on the tooth and how much structure remains.
How many visits will I need?
Treatment may need more than one visit; the dentist will explain your plan.
What will the treatment cost?
The clinic will explain the treatment fee in Indian rupees (₹) after assessing your needs and agreeing the treatment plan.
What should I tell the dentist before treatment?
Share your symptoms, medical history, current medicines and any previous treatment on the tooth.
What happens after the canals are treated?
The tooth needs an appropriate final restoration. Complete the planned follow-up rather than leaving a temporary filling indefinitely.
