Root Canal Treatment in Sector 57, Gurugram

Dr Aishwarya's Dental Clinic · Sector 57, Gurugram

A root canal treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to treat a tooth where the inner nerve tissue, called the pulp, has become infected or inflamed. Instead of removing the tooth, the dentist cleans out the infected tissue, shapes and disinfects the space inside, and seals it. This lets you keep your natural tooth rather than losing it.

Who Needs a Root Canal?

You may need a root canal if you notice any of the following:

• Ongoing toothache, especially pain that gets worse when biting or chewing
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers well after the trigger is removed
• Swelling or a small pimple-like bump on the gum near a tooth
• A tooth that has darkened in colour
• Pain from a deep cavity, a cracked tooth, or an old filling that has failed

Not every toothache means a root canal is needed. An examination and an X-ray are the only reliable way to know for sure.

What Happens at Each Visit

First Visit: Examination and Diagnosis

The dentist examines the tooth, checks your bite, and takes an X-ray to see the extent of the infection and the shape of the root canals. If treatment is needed, the tooth is numbed and an opening is made to access the infected pulp.

Second Visit: Cleaning and Shaping

The infected tissue is removed, and the inside of the root canals is cleaned, shaped, and disinfected. Depending on the severity of infection, a medicated dressing may be placed and the tooth temporarily sealed while it settles.

Final Visit: Filling and Crown

Once the tooth is free of infection, the root canals are filled and sealed permanently. Most back teeth then need a crown to restore strength and protect against future cracking, since a root-treated tooth can become more brittle over time.

Typical Cost in Sector 57, Gurugram

Costs vary depending on the tooth, the complexity of the canals, and whether a crown is needed. As a general guide:

These are typical ranges only, not a quote. Your final cost depends on the tooth's condition, the number of canals, whether the case is a straightforward or a re-treatment, and the type of crown chosen. An exact estimate can only be given after an in-person examination.

Aftercare

After each visit, mild discomfort or sensitivity for a day or two is common and usually settles on its own or with the pain relief your dentist recommends. It helps to avoid chewing on the treated side until the final filling or crown is placed, keep up regular brushing and flossing, and attend your follow-up visit so the crown or permanent filling can be completed. If you notice swelling, worsening pain, or a bad taste, contact the clinic rather than waiting it out.
