When Is Root Canal Treatment Needed?

Root canal treatment may be considered when the soft tissue inside the tooth, the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected. Symptoms can point to a problem, but only a dental examination and appropriate X-rays can confirm whether RCT is needed.

•Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
•Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
•Deep decay that has reached the pulp
•Cracked, fractured, or damaged tooth structure
•Swelling, gum tenderness, or signs of infection near the tooth
•Discomfort when biting or chewing

How Root Canal Treatment Is Done

Root canal therapy is planned after examination. At Skin Klove, the process is designed to remove infected or damaged pulp, clean the canals, and seal the tooth so it can be restored.

•Examination and imaging to assess the tooth and surrounding bone
•Local anaesthesia so you remain comfortable during treatment
•Removal of inflamed or infected pulp from the canal system
•Cleaning, shaping, and disinfection of the root canals
•Filling and sealing the canals with a biocompatible material
•Temporary or definitive restoration, with further protection planned if needed

Single-Visit vs Multiple-Visit Root Canal

Some root canal cases can be completed in one visit. Others need more than one appointment. The number of visits depends on infection severity, tooth anatomy, and clinical findings during treatment. On our current treatment schedule, root canal care is commonly planned over 1-2 visits, with each session typically lasting about 60-90 minutes.

•Straightforward cases may be managed in a single visit
•Complex anatomy or active infection may need an additional visit
•Your dentist will explain the expected plan after examination

Do I Need a Crown After Root Canal?

Not every root-treated tooth needs the same final restoration. Whether you need a crown depends on how much healthy tooth structure remains, where the tooth is in the mouth, and how the tooth will be used for chewing. Back teeth often need extra protection. Front teeth may be restored differently after clinical assessment.

•Restoration is decided after evaluating the treated tooth
•Molars and premolars commonly benefit from stronger coverage
•Your dentist will recommend the option that best protects the tooth long term

Root Canal Recovery & Aftercare

Mild tenderness after root canal treatment is common for a few days as the surrounding tissues settle. Most patients return to normal routines quickly when aftercare advice is followed.

•Use any recommended pain relief as advised by your dentist
•Avoid hard or sticky foods on the treated side until the final restoration is placed
•Continue gentle brushing and flossing around the area
•Attend follow-up visits for restoration and review
•Contact the clinic if pain, swelling, or bite discomfort increases

Root Canal Treatment Cost in Chennai

Root canal cost in Chennai varies because each case is different. Price depends on which tooth is involved, how many canals need treatment, the level of infection or complexity, and what final restoration is required. Skin Klove provides an estimate after examination rather than advertising a one-size-fits-all fee.

•Front teeth and back teeth can differ in complexity
•Infection and retreatment needs can affect the plan
•Crown or other restoration cost is separate when clinically indicated
•Ask for a clear estimate before treatment begins

Root Canal Retreatment

If a previously treated tooth becomes symptomatic again, or if infection appears to persist, retreatment may be considered after evaluation. Not every case is suitable for retreatment. Imaging and clinical findings help decide whether cleaning and resealing the canals, or another option such as extraction and replacement, is more appropriate.

•Retreatment is considered only after assessing the existing root filling
•Persistent or returning infection needs careful diagnosis
•Your dentist will explain whether retreatment or another option is better for that tooth
