- Day 1 — X-ray, diagnosis, root canal begun the same day
- Day 2–3 — canal shaping and filling completed
- Day 4–6 — crown prepared and fitted over the treated tooth
Free video consultation before you fly. In-clinic consultation on arrival is ₹300, and your written plan and final cost are confirmed after the examination.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment
Early treatment is always simpler, faster, and more affordable.
Severe Toothache
Persistent, throbbing pain — especially when biting or applying pressure — often indicates pulp infection that needs treatment urgently.
Prolonged Sensitivity
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers for more than a few seconds after the stimulus is removed is a common sign of pulpal involvement.
Swelling or Abscess
Facial swelling, a pimple on the gum near a tooth, or drainage of pus indicates a dental abscess — which always requires prompt attention.
Discoloured Tooth
A tooth that has darkened significantly compared to surrounding teeth may have a damaged or dying nerve, even without obvious pain.
What Happens During Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment at Dentick takes 1–2 visits, depending on the extent of infection.
-
1
Diagnosis & X-Ray
We take a dental X-ray to assess the extent of infection and the shape of your root canals. In complex cases, a CBCT scan may be recommended.
-
2
Local Anaesthesia
We thoroughly numb the area. Most patients are surprised — a root canal under proper anaesthesia is no more uncomfortable than a routine filling.
-
3
Pulp Removal
The infected or damaged pulp tissue is removed from the pulp chamber and root canals using rotary instruments. The canals are then cleaned and shaped.
-
4
Disinfection & Sealing
Canals are disinfected with antimicrobial solution and sealed with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to prevent re-infection.
-
5
Crown Placement
Most root-canal-treated teeth need a crown for protection. We will advise you on the best crown option and fit it at a follow-up appointment.

Root Canal Treatment — Common Questions
RCT is short for root canal treatment, sometimes called root canal therapy. If a dentist has told you that you need an RCT, they mean the treatment described on this page — cleaning the infected nerve tissue out of the tooth, disinfecting the canals, and sealing them so the tooth can be kept.
It depends on which tooth and how many canals it has — a front tooth with a single canal costs less than a molar with three or four. Our current range is in the pricing section above and on the price list, and you get an exact written figure after the X-ray, before treatment starts. A crown afterwards is priced separately and we will tell you upfront whether you need one.
No — a root canal performed under proper local anaesthesia should be no more uncomfortable than a filling. The pain patients fear is actually the pain of the infection itself, which the root canal resolves. Most patients say the procedure was far more comfortable than they expected.
Most root canals at Dentick can be completed in 1–2 visits. Simple single-rooted teeth are often completed in one session. Multi-rooted teeth or severe infections may require a second visit to ensure complete disinfection before sealing.
Almost always, it is better to save the natural tooth. Extracted teeth require replacement (with an implant, bridge, or denture) to prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting. Root canal treatment preserves your natural tooth structure, bite, and jawbone.
A root-canal-treated tooth protected by a proper crown can last many years — often decades or a lifetime — with good oral hygiene and regular checkups. The crown is essential for long-term success.
A second visit is usually needed when the tooth is significantly infected or swollen — we place a medicated dressing first to fully clear the infection before sealing it permanently, which gives a more predictable, lasting result than rushing to finish in one sitting.
Yes — mild tenderness around the tooth and jaw is a normal part of healing as the surrounding tissue settles, and it typically fades within a few days with over-the-counter pain relief. Pain that is severe, worsening, or lasts beyond a week should be checked.
