FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
No Confusion. Just Clear Information.
What is a root canal treatment and why is it done?
A root canal treatment is a procedure to remove infection from inside a tooth and save it from extraction. It’s usually recommended when the pulp is damaged or infected due to decay or injury.
How do I know if I need a root canal treatment?
If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around your gums, it could mean your tooth is infected and may need a root canal. Only a dental X-ray can confirm this.
Does a root canal treatment hurt?
No, modern root canal treatments are virtually painless. With local anesthesia and advanced tools, most patients say the procedure is no more uncomfortable than a routine filling.
Is a crown or cap necessary after a root canal treatment?
Yes, most root canal-treated teeth need a crown to protect the tooth and restore its function. The crown helps prevent fractures and ensures long-term success.
How many sittings does a root canal treatment take?
Many root canals can be completed in one or two appointments depending on the complexity of the infection and the tooth’s condition.
What is the cost of root canal treatment ?
The cost can vary depending on the tooth and the care needed, but on average, a root canal in India ranges between ₹2,500 to ₹7,000. Crowns cost extra, depending on the material.
What can I eat after a root canal treatment?
Stick to soft, non-spicy foods for 1–2 days. Avoid chewing on the treated side until a crown is placed. Ice cream, curd rice, and soft fruits are good options.
Can a root canal be done in one sitting?
Yes, if there’s no swelling or major infection, many root canals can be completed in a single appointment.
Root canal vs. extraction: Which is better?
Saving your natural tooth through a root canal is usually better than extraction. It preserves your bite, prevents shifting, and avoids the cost of implants or bridges.
Is root canal safe during pregnancy?
Yes, with proper precautions and consultation with your gynecologist, root canals are safe during pregnancy—especially in the second trimester.
Are root canals permanent?
With proper care and regular checkups, a root canal can last a lifetime. However, the crown may need replacement after 10–15 years.
Can root canal treatment fail?
While rare, it can happen if the infection persists or the crown is delayed. Regular follow-up and timely crowning reduce this risk significantly.
What is a re-RCT and when is it needed?
A re-RCT (repeat root canal treatment) is done when a previously treated tooth becomes reinfected or continues to cause pain. It involves removing the old filling, cleaning the canals again, and resealing the tooth.
Is re-RCT more painful than the first time?
No — re-RCT is done under local anesthesia and is usually no more uncomfortable than the first root canal. At Crest Dental, we use advanced tools to make the procedure safe and smooth.
How successful is a repeat root canal treatment?
With modern techniques and proper care, re-RCT success rates are high. Our clinic uses digital X-rays and rotary tools to improve precision and long-term outcomes.
How do I know if I need a re-RCT or an extraction?
If the tooth structure is intact and infection is manageable, re-RCT is the preferred option. If there’s severe damage or bone loss, extraction may be advised. We’ll assess and guide you with clarity.
Can I drink or smoke after a root canal?
It’s best to avoid smoking and alcohol for 24–48 hours after treatment, especially if you’re taking medication or antibiotics.
Are there any side effects or risks of root canal treatment?
Minor discomfort for a day or two is normal. Serious complications are rare, especially when done by experienced dentists.
Is root canal treatment available for medical tourists in India?
Yes! At Crest Dental, Sec-63 Gurugram, we treat many patients from abroad. We offer transparent pricing, advanced technology, and communicative staff to ensure a smooth experience.
