Dealing with constant tooth pain or sensitivity? Wondering if a root canal is the solution and how much it might cost?
At Garg’s Dentario, we take the worry out of dental care with gentle and effective root canal treatment in Gurgaon. RCT targets infections deep inside the tooth pulp (the soft tissue that keeps your tooth alive), helping to save your natural tooth and relieve pain. With our skilled team and modern techniques, your root canal experience will be smooth, comfortable, and stress-free.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a treatment done to save a tooth that is badly damaged or infected from within. The pulp, which is the innermost soft tissue of the tooth, can sometimes become inflamed or infected due to cavities, cracks, or injury. Instead of pulling the tooth out, the dentist carefully removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the root canals, fills the space, and seals the tooth.
After the treatment, a crown or filling is often placed to restore the tooth’s appearance and strength. With proper restoration and care, a tooth that has had a root canal can last as long as your natural teeth.
When Do You Need A Root Canal?
You may need a root canal when the pulp is infected or too damaged to heal on its own.. This usually happens because of deep cavities, cracks, or injury to the tooth.
Common cause:
- Deep decay
- Cracks or fractures in the tooth
- Gum disease
- Worn-down teeth from grinding
- Injuries to the tooth
- Repeated dental procedures
Without treatment, the infection may spread, causing an abscess or other complications. Root canal therapy can save your tooth, preserving its natural functionality.
Symptoms Indicating Root Canal Treatment
It is important to recognize the early signs that may suggest your tooth needs a root canal. Some common symptoms include:
01
Severe toothache
Sharp or throbbing pain, especially while chewing or biting.
02
Prolonged sensitivity
Pain or discomfort when eating hot or cold foods that lingers even after the food is gone.
03
Swollen gums
Swelling and tenderness in the gums near the painful tooth.
04
Tooth discoloration
A tooth that turns dark (grey or blackish) due to nerve damage.
05
Persistent pain
Continuous dull ache in the tooth or jaw.
06
Swelling in the face or jaw
Infection from the tooth spreading to the surrounding tissues.

Root Canal Treatment Procedure
Patients often fear root canals, imagining them to be painful. In reality, modern dentistry makes the procedure quick, safe, and relatively painless, similar to getting a filling. Here’s what happens during an RCT:
- Examination & X-ray:
The dentist examines the tooth and takes X-rays to assess the extent of infection. - Local anesthesia:
The tooth and surrounding area are numbed, ensuring the patient feels no pain. - Opening the tooth:
A small access hole is created on the tooth’s surface to reach the pulp. - Cleaning the canals:
Infected pulp is removed using fine instruments, and the canals are cleaned and disinfected. - Filling the canals:
Once clean, the canals are filled with a special material called gutta-percha to prevent reinfection. - Sealing the tooth:
The access hole is sealed with a temporary or permanent filling. - Crown placement:
In most cases, a crown is placed later to protect the tooth and restore function.
The entire process usually requires one or two sittings, depending on the severity of the infection.

Re-RCT (Repeat Root Canal Treatment)
Re-RCT, or repeat root canal treatment, is done when a tooth that has already had a root canal starts having problems again. Sometimes the first root canal may not heal fully, or a new infection can develop due to deep decay, cracks, or missed canals.
In this procedure, the dentist reopens the tooth, removes the old filling material, cleans out any remaining infection, and then refills and seals the tooth properly.
Why Would You Need Re-RCT?
- Incomplete healing:
The first root canal didn’t fully remove the infection. - Missed canals:
Some tiny canals inside the tooth may have been missed during the first treatment. - New infection:
A cavity, crack, or broken filling can let bacteria enter again. - Poor crown or filling:
If the tooth wasn’t sealed properly, germs can sneak back in. - Hidden cracks:
Small cracks in the tooth can lead to re-infection.

Frequently Asked questions
You might need a root canal if you have strong tooth pain that doesn’t go away, swelling in your gums, sensitivity to hot or cold foods that lingers, or if your tooth looks darker than the others. A dentist confirms this with an exam and X-ray.
Yes, but you should wait until the numbness from anesthesia wears off so you don’t accidentally bite your cheek or tongue. Start with soft foods (like rice, dal, pasta, yogurt, or smoothies) and avoid hard, sticky, or crunchy foods until your dentist finishes the final crown or filling.
It’s normal to feel some jaw pain after a root canal. This can happen because your mouth stays open for a long time during the procedure, which strains the jaw muscles. Also, mild swelling or soreness in the area can cause temporary discomfort. The pain usually settles within a few days and can be managed with prescribed medicines.
Root canal treatment cost in Gurgaon is usually between ₹2,000 and ₹20,000 per tooth, depending on the tooth type (front or molar), severity of infection, and whether a crown is needed after treatment.
