A root canal removes infected tissue from inside a damaged tooth, stops the pain, and saves the tooth from extraction. The nerve and blood supply inside the tooth (called the pulp) gets infected — usually from deep decay, a crack, or repeated dental work. Without treatment, the infection spreads, the pain gets worse, and you'll eventually lose the tooth.

At Smile Dental Kondapur and Vizag, root canal treatment starts from ₹4,000 and takes 1-2 visits of 45-90 minutes each. We use electronic apex locators and rotary instruments for precision, and rubber dam isolation to keep the area clean throughout. Most patients say it felt like getting a filling — not the horror story they expected.
