Introduction

Root Canal Treatment


Tooth pain that worsens while chewing, sensitivity that lingers long after eating something cold, or a gum swelling near a tooth are signs that the inside of the tooth may be infected. Root canal treatment removes that infection, relieves the pain, and saves the natural tooth. Galaxy Dental Care offers root canal treatment in Hyderabad across 9 branches, with endodontists who assess the tooth, confirm the diagnosis with X-rays, and plan treatment before starting.

What Is

Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside the tooth, cleans and seals the canals, and helps save the natural tooth from extraction. The pulp is the soft inner part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria reach the pulp through deep decay, cracks, or trauma, infection develops, causing pain, swelling, and eventual tooth damage if left untreated.

Non-Surgical Root Canal

Non-Surgical Root Canal


The standard procedure. The dentist accesses the tooth, removes infected pulp, cleans the canals, and seals them to prevent reinfection.

Surgical Root Canal

Surgical Root Canal


Used when standard treatment does not fully resolve infection near the root tip. A small gum incision allows access to clean and seal the root end directly.

Who Needs

Root Canal Treatment?

A dental examination and X-ray confirm whether root canal treatment is needed. These are the common signs that suggest the tooth pulp is infected or inflamed.

Severe Tooth Pain

Persistent or sharp pain while chewing or biting that does not settle on its own.

Severe Tooth Pain

Prolonged Sensitivity

Hot or cold sensitivity that lingers for more than a few seconds after the trigger is removed.

Prolonged Sensitivity
Root Canal Treatment?
Gum Swelling or Boil

Gum Swelling or Boil

Swelling, tenderness, or a small pimple-like bump on the gum near the affected tooth.

Tooth Darkening

Tooth Darkening

A tooth that is turning grey or darker than the surrounding teeth, indicating pulp damage inside.

Deep Decay or Crack

Deep Decay or Crack

A cavity that has reached close to or into the pulp, or a crack that allows bacteria to enter the inner tooth.

What

Types of Root Canal Treatment

The endodontist recommends the right approach after examining the tooth, reviewing X-rays, and assessing the number of canals and extent of infection. Complexity varies by tooth type and infection stage.

Single-Visit Root Canal

Single-Visit Root Canal

Suitable for straightforward cases where the infection is contained and the canals are accessible for cleaning and sealing in one appointment.

Multi-Visit Root Canal

Multi-Visit Root Canal

Used for complex cases, heavily infected teeth, or teeth with curved or multiple canals that need more than one session to clean thoroughly.

Re-Root Canal Treatment

Re-Root Canal Treatment

When a previously root canal-treated tooth develops reinfection, the old filling is removed, the canals are re-cleaned, and the tooth is resealed.

Post and Core Restoration

Post and Core Restoration

After root canal treatment on heavily damaged teeth, a post is placed inside the canal to support a crown that restores the tooth fully.

How Does

Root Canal Treatment Work?

Diagnosis and Anaesthesia For Root Canal Treatment


The endodontist examines the tooth, reviews a periapical X-ray to check canal shape, root length, and infection extent, and confirms whether root canal treatment is the right option.
Local anaesthesia is given to numb the tooth and surrounding area completely before any instrument enters the tooth. The area is numbed thoroughly so the procedure is carried out with the patient comfortable throughout.

Diagnosis and Anaesthesia

Cleaning, Sealing, and Restoration For Root Canal Treatment


A small opening is made through the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber.
Infected pulp tissue is removed using fine instruments, and each canal is cleaned, shaped, and disinfected. The canals are then filled with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha and sealed.
A temporary or permanent filling closes the access opening. Most back teeth need a crown after root canal treatment to restore bite strength and prevent the tooth from fracturing.

Root Canal Treatment vs Tooth Extraction

Which Is Better?

Root Canal Treatment vs Tooth Extraction


Both resolve the pain from an infected tooth, but they have very different long-term outcomes.

Tooth extraction removes the problem entirely in one visit and costs less upfront. However, a missing tooth affects the bite, causes neighbouring teeth to shift over time, and leads to jawbone loss in that area. Replacing it later with an implant or bridge adds significant cost and treatment time.

Root canal treatment saves the natural tooth. Patients searching for best root canal treatment near me often do not realise that keeping the natural tooth is almost always the better long-term outcome. A root canal-treated tooth with a crown can function normally for many years. Your endodontist will confirm whether the tooth is suitable for saving or whether extraction is the only viable option based on the extent of damage and bone support.

The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so the tooth and surrounding area are fully numb before treatment begins. Most patients find it comparable to getting a filling. Mild soreness for a few days after is normal and manageable.

Many root canals are completed in one visit of 60 to 90 minutes. Complex cases, heavily infected teeth, or teeth with curved canals may need two visits. Your endodontist confirms this after the initial X-ray.

Most back teeth need a crown after root canal treatment to restore strength and prevent fracture under chewing pressure. Front teeth may sometimes be restored with a filling depending on how much tooth structure remains.

Reinfection is possible if the crown is delayed, the seal breaks down, or a new cavity forms. Regular check-ups and timely crown placement after treatment reduce this risk significantly.

The cost depends on the tooth type, number of canals, infection severity, number of visits required, and whether a crown is needed after treatment. A consultation at Galaxy Dental Care will give you a clear plan and cost estimate.
