About the treatment

What a root canal treatment is

Every tooth has a soft core called the pulp. It holds the nerves and blood vessels of the tooth. When deep decay, a crack or an injury lets bacteria reach the pulp, it becomes inflamed or infected. This usually causes pain, and an infected tooth does not heal on its own.

A root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the canals inside the tooth, then fills and seals them. Your own tooth stays in place and, in most cases, is covered with a crown to protect it. When a tooth can be repaired, saving it is usually better than removing it.

At Pristine Dental Clinic in HSR Layout, every root canal starts with an examination and an X-ray, so the plan is based on what your tooth actually needs.

Only an examination and an X-ray can confirm whether you need a root canal.

When to get it checked

Signs you may need a root canal

These signs do not always mean a root canal is needed, but they are a reason to have the tooth looked at soon.

1

Toothache that does not settle

Pain that lasts, keeps coming back, or wakes you at night.

2

Sensitivity that lingers

Hot or cold drinks cause pain that stays after the drink is gone.

3

Pain when you bite

Chewing on the tooth, or pressing on it, hurts.

4

Swelling or a bump on the gum

A swollen gum, or a small bump near the tooth, can be a sign of infection.

5

A tooth that is darkening

A tooth that changes colour may have a damaged pulp.

6

A deep cavity or a crack

Damage that has reached the inner part of the tooth.

If you have swelling, fever or severe pain, call the clinic first on 090193 67756.

How it works

Your treatment, step by step

The number of visits depends on the tooth and on how far the infection has spread. Dr. Athhar will tell you after the X-ray.

  1. Examination and X-ray

    Dr. Athhar checks the tooth and takes an X-ray to see the roots and the bone around them.

  2. Your plan and the cost

    You are told what is wrong, what the treatment involves, how many visits it may need and what it will cost, before anything starts.

  3. Numbing the tooth

    The tooth and the gum around it are numbed with local anaesthesia.

  4. Cleaning the canals

    The infected pulp is removed and the canals inside the tooth are cleaned and shaped.

  5. Filling and sealing

    The canals are filled and sealed so that bacteria cannot get back in.

  6. Crown or filling

    Most root canal teeth, especially back teeth, need a crown to stay strong. Dr. Athhar will advise you for your tooth.

Questions

Root canal treatment: your questions answered

Call 090193 67756
Is root canal treatment painful?

The tooth and the gum are numbed with local anaesthesia before the treatment starts. Some soreness in the days afterwards is common and usually settles. If it does not, call the clinic.

How many visits does a root canal need?

It depends on the tooth and on how severe the infection is. Some teeth are finished in one visit and others need two or more. Dr. Athhar will tell you after the examination and X-ray.

How much does a root canal cost in Bangalore?

The cost depends on the tooth, its condition and whether a crown is needed. After the examination and X-ray, Dr. Athhar explains the plan and the cost before the treatment starts.

Will I need a crown after a root canal?

Often yes, especially for back teeth, because a tooth that has had a root canal is weaker. Dr. Athhar will advise you for your tooth.

What happens if I do not treat an infected tooth?

An infected tooth does not heal by itself. The infection can spread, cause swelling and pain, and in time the tooth may be lost.

Is it better to save the tooth or remove it?

Saving your own tooth is usually preferred when it can be repaired. In some cases removal is the better advice. Dr. Athhar will explain the options for your tooth.

Can I come in if the pain starts in the evening?

The clinic is open until midnight. Please call before you come, so the team knows to expect you.
