What happens inside the tooth
- 1
Infected tooth and abscess
Decay reaches the pulp, infecting the nerve and forming an abscess at the root tip — this is what causes the throbbing pain and swelling.
- 2
Tooth cleaned and shaped
The infected pulp is removed and the canals are disinfected and shaped with rotary files, ending the infection at its source.
- 3
Root filling replaced
The empty canals are sealed with a biocompatible filling so bacteria cannot re-enter the root.
- 4
Permanent filling or crown
A ceramic or zirconia crown rebuilds the tooth so you can chew with full strength again.
Root canal treatment FAQs
Is root canal treatment painful?
No. With painless local anaesthesia and modern rotary endodontics, an RCT relieves your toothache instead of causing pain. Most patients return to normal activity the same day.
How much does root canal treatment cost in Kolkata?
RCT cost depends on the tooth, the level of infection and whether a crown is required. We give you a written, transparent estimate after your X-ray, with no hidden charges.
How many sittings does a root canal need?
Most root canal treatments require 2–3 sittings. However, the exact number of visits depends on the condition of the tooth and the extent of the infection, which can only be determined after a thorough clinical examination by the dentist.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Usually yes. A zirconia or ceramic crown protects the treated tooth from fracture and restores full chewing strength.
