Root canal treatment in Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam
Root canal treatment (RCT) at Bhanu Dental Care is done by our endodontist, a root canal specialist, with advanced equipment in a hygienic setting. It removes the infection inside the tooth, ends the pain and saves your natural tooth.
Signs and suitability
Signs you may need a root canal
A root canal is needed when decay or a crack reaches the pulp, the soft core of the tooth with nerves and blood vessels. See a dentist if you notice:
- Throbbing toothache, especially at night
- Pain that lingers after hot or cold food
- Swelling, or a pimple-like bump on the gum
- Pain when you bite or chew
- A tooth that has turned dark
- A deep cavity or a cracked tooth
Step by step
How root canal treatment is done
Examination and X-ray
The dentist checks the tooth and takes an X-ray to see the roots and how far the infection has spread.
Local anaesthesia
The tooth and gum are numbed so you feel pressure, not pain.
Cleaning the canals
The infected pulp is removed, and each root canal is cleaned, shaped and disinfected.
Filling and sealing
The canals are filled and sealed so bacteria cannot get back in.
Crown
A crown is often placed on back teeth, because a root-canal-treated tooth can become brittle.

Questions
Root canal treatment questions.
Answers to common questions. For advice about your own teeth, book a check-up.
Is root canal treatment painful?
RCT is done under local anaesthesia, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. It usually relieves the toothache that brought you in. Mild soreness for a few days afterwards is common.
How many sittings does a root canal take?
It depends on the tooth and the infection. Some root canals are completed in one visit, while badly infected teeth need more. The dentist will tell you after the X-ray.
Do I need a crown after root canal treatment?
Back teeth usually need a crown after RCT, because the tooth becomes weaker and can crack. Zirconia crowns are a strong, tooth-coloured option.
What is the cost of root canal treatment in Gajuwaka?
The cost depends on the tooth, the number of canals and whether a crown is needed. The consultation is ₹300, and you get a clear estimate before treatment starts.
Can my tooth be saved instead of removed?
Often, yes. Saving your natural tooth with a root canal is usually better than removing it, because a gap can let nearby teeth shift.
