Inside every tooth is soft tissue called the pulp: the nerve and blood supply. Deep decay, a crack or an old large filling can let bacteria reach it, and the pulp becomes inflamed or infected. That is what causes the deep, throbbing toothache. A root canal removes that tissue, cleans and seals the tiny canals inside the root, and leaves you with your own tooth, comfortable and able to chew again.

At The Smile Super Speciality Dental Clinic, in Kondapur, Hyderabad and in Maharani Peta, Visakhapatnam, most root canals are done in one visit of 45 to 90 minutes under local anaesthetic. We keep the tooth isolated with a rubber dam, measure each canal with an electronic apex locator and clean it with rotary instruments. Before anything starts you see the X-ray, hear what we found, and get a written plan with the full price, including the crown. Prices in detail: our root canal cost guide for Kondapur.

What patients tell us when they first come in

  • "It started as a twinge with cold water. Now it throbs at night and painkillers barely help."
  • "I can't bite on that side any more. It feels like the tooth is taller than the others."
  • "There's a small pimple on my gum above the tooth that keeps coming back."
  • "Another dentist said root canal. Is it really needed, or would a filling do?"
  • "I'm scared of root canals. Everyone says they're the worst."
