Endodontic Super-Speciality Care

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) In Kolkata

Save Your Natural Tooth. Relieve Pain. Restore Your Smile. Endodontic procedure designed to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth, preserving natural tooth structure whenever predictably restorable.

01 / CLINICAL OVERVIEW

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Treating deep internal infection to preserve your natural tooth structure.

Inside each tooth lies the pulp cavity containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When bacteria invade this inner chamber due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, severe pain and swelling can occur.

Root canal treatment carefully removes inflamed or infected pulp tissue, cleans and disinfects root canals, fills them with gutta-percha, and seals the tooth. A dental crown is typically placed afterward to restore full biting strength.

Why Preserve Your Natural Tooth?

  • Maintains natural chewing force & biting efficiency
  • Prevents adjacent teeth from shifting out of alignment
  • Preserves natural jawbone volume & facial aesthetics
  • Avoids more complex tooth replacement procedures

PATIENT COMFORT

Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?

Modern root canal treatment is performed under effective local anaesthesia, making the procedure itself virtually painless. In fact, RCT is designed to relieve severe tooth pain caused by internal pulp infection.

Mild post-treatment tenderness may occur for a few days as surrounding tissues heal, which is temporary and easily managed with prescribed post-care instructions.

06 / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Root Canal FAQs

Clear answers regarding RCT procedure, crown necessity, visits, and recovery in Kolkata.

A dental crown is strongly recommended after RCT, especially for back molars, to protect the restored tooth from fractures under heavy chewing forces.

Whenever a tooth can be predictably restored, saving your natural tooth through RCT is superior because it preserves natural chewing forces, tooth alignment, and bone structure.

RCT typically takes 1 to 2 appointments depending on infection severity and canal complexity. Selected uncomplicated cases may be completed in a single sitting.

It is best to wait until local anaesthesia wears off completely before eating to prevent biting your cheek or tongue. Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until the final crown is placed.
