Root canal vs extraction — which is better?

Saving your natural tooth with a root canal is almost always the better choice. Natural teeth are stronger, look better, and function better than any replacement. Extraction leads to bone loss and requires implants or bridges, which are more expensive. We recommend extraction only when the tooth is beyond saving.

Can I eat after root canal treatment?

Avoid eating on the treated side for 2–3 hours after the procedure (until the anesthesia wears off). Stick to soft foods for 24 hours. Once the permanent crown is placed, you can eat completely normally.

How many sittings are needed for root canal?

Most root canals at Dent Health are completed in 1–2 sittings. Simple cases (front teeth) can often be done in a single visit. Complex cases (molars with curved canals or severe infection) may need 2–3 visits spaced a week apart.

How much does root canal treatment cost in Hyderabad?

Root canal treatment at Dent Health, Banjara Hills costs ₹4,500 to ₹12,000 depending on the tooth and the severity or complexity of infection. The crown is priced separately. You receive an exact quote after the clinical examination and digital X-ray; ask the team about current consultation fees and payment options when booking.

How do I know if I need a root canal?

Common signs include a persistent toothache that worsens at night, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold drinks, swollen or tender gums near one tooth, darkening of a tooth, pain when biting, or a small pimple (abscess) on the gums. A digital X-ray at the clinic confirms whether the pulp is infected and a root canal is needed.

Do I need a crown after root canal treatment?

In most cases, yes, especially for molars. A root canal treated tooth becomes more brittle over time, and a crown protects it from fracture. With a quality crown placed after the procedure, a root canal treated tooth can last a lifetime.

How long does each root canal sitting take?

Each sitting takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on the tooth and the number of canals. Our endodontist uses advanced rotary instruments, which make canal shaping faster and more precise than manual files.

Save the tooth that's hurting, don't pull it.

Keeping your original tooth is always our first recommendation, and a root canal is how we save it. Every tooth has a soft tissue inside called the pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When this pulp gets infected due to deep decay, cracks, or repeated dental procedures, it causes intense pain and can lead to abscess formation. Root canal treatment carefully removes this infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inner chambers, and seals them to prevent future infection.

At Dent Health in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, endodontist Dr. Nabeel Siddique uses rotary endodontic instruments and digital radiography to support careful diagnosis and treatment planning. Local anaesthesia and comfort-focused techniques are used, while individual experiences can vary.
