Root Canal Treatment in Narela, Delhi

A root canal treatment (RCT) removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth so the tooth can be saved instead of extracted. Done under local anaesthesia, it relieves the pain caused by the infection rather than causing it. At PS Dental Care, Narela Mandi, our doctors examine the tooth, take an X-ray and explain the treatment and cost before starting.

When Do You Need a Root Canal?

• Severe toothache, especially when chewing or pressing on the tooth.
• Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold after the stimulus is gone.
• Darkening or discolouration of a tooth.
• Swollen or tender gums near the tooth.
• A pimple-like bump on the gum, which can be a sign of a dental abscess.

Delaying treatment can let the infection spread and may lead to losing the tooth. Only a dentist can confirm whether you need a root canal, after an examination and X-ray.

How Root Canal Treatment Is Done

1. Diagnosis: examination and dental X-ray to see the tooth and the extent of infection.
2. Anaesthesia: the tooth and the area around it are numbed.
3. Cleaning: the infected pulp is removed, and the canals are cleaned and shaped.
4. Filling: the canals are filled and sealed to prevent re-infection.
5. Restoration: a filling or a crown is placed to protect the tooth, because a treated tooth can be weaker.

Many root canals are completed in one or two visits, depending on the tooth and the infection. Teeth with a severe infection may need a medicine dressing first and a second visit to finish.

Root Canal or Extraction?

Saving your natural tooth is usually preferred, because it keeps your bite, appearance and jawbone intact. If a tooth is too damaged to save, extraction may be advised, and the gap can be replaced with a dental implant. Your dentist will explain both options for your tooth.

Aftercare

• Wait until the numbness wears off before eating, to avoid biting your cheek or tongue.
• Avoid chewing hard foods on that side until the tooth is fully restored.
• Mild soreness for a few days is normal and can be managed with medicines prescribed by your dentist.
• Complete the final filling or crown as advised, and keep brushing and flossing.
• Call us if pain or swelling increases, or if the temporary filling comes out.

Root Canal Cost in Narela

The cost depends on the tooth (front teeth have fewer canals than molars), how complicated the infection is, the number of visits, and whether a crown is needed afterwards. We explain the estimate after examining your tooth and taking an X-ray, so there are no surprises. Call +91 95601 08207 for an appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is root canal treatment painful?

The treatment is done under local anaesthesia, so it should feel similar to having a filling. Some tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal. Anxious patients should tell the doctor beforehand.

How long does a root canal take?

A visit usually lasts around an hour, but it depends on the tooth. Many teeth are completed in one or two visits.

How long is recovery?

Most people return to normal activities the same or the next day. Soreness usually settles within a few days.

Can I eat after a root canal?

Wait until the anaesthesia wears off, then eat soft foods and avoid hard or sticky foods on that side until your tooth is restored.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

Often yes, especially for back teeth, because a treated tooth can be more fragile. Your dentist will advise based on how much of the tooth remains.

How much does a root canal cost?

It depends on the tooth and the case. Book an appointment and we will give you an estimate after examination.
