A root canal treatment (RCT) removes infected pulp from inside a tooth, relieves pain and saves the natural tooth from extraction. At Astra Dental Care in Madurai, most root canals are completed in a single, comfortable visit using rotary endodontics and digital X-rays, starting from ₹3,200.
When do you need a root canal?
- Severe or lingering tooth pain, especially at night
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or a pimple on the gum
- A deep cavity or cracked tooth
- Darkening of a tooth
The procedure — step by step
After numbing the area, the dentist cleans and shapes the canals with fine rotary instruments, disinfects them, and seals them. A crown is usually placed afterwards to protect the tooth. Digital X-rays confirm the tooth is fully treated.
