A root canal is a procedure mainly performed to repair and save a tooth that's
badly decayed or becomes infected.
●
During this procedure, the surgeon removes the pulp as well as the nerve and the
cleans and seals the inside of the tooth. If not treated on time, the tissue which
surrounds the tooth will become infected and would result in the formation of
abscesses.
●
In medical science, “Root Canal” is the term used to describe the natural cavity
within the center of the tooth. The pulp or pulp chamber is the soft area within
the root canal and nerve of the tooth lies withing the root canal. The nerve of the
tooth is not that important to its health and also function after the tooth gets
emerged through the gums. The only function of the nerve is to give you
sensation of hot or cold and its presence or absence will not affect the day-to-
day functioning of the tooth.

3. ●
Initially, the surgeon makes an opening through the back of a front tooth
or the crown of a molar or pre molar
●
After the surgeon removes the diseased pulp, he/she cleans the pulp
chamber and the root canals, enlarges and shapes them for being filled
●
If more than one visit is required, a temporary filling is placed in the crown
opening to protect the tooth between dental visits
●
The surgeon then removes the temporary filling and permanently fills the
pulp chamber and the root canal.
●
Finally, the surgeon places a crown over the tooth to restore its natural
shape as well as appearance. If the tooth is extremely broken down, a
post might be required to build it up before placing a crown

4. The cost for this procedure differs depending on the severity of the problem
and the tooth affected. Several dental insurance policies cover this treatment.
An estimate for the cost of this treatment (doesn't include a dental restoration
following the procedure) executed by a general dentist could range anywhere
from INR 3,000 to INR 10,000 depending on the tooth to be treated.

proper care. As there is possibility of the tooth decaying occurring again in
treated teeth, good oral hygiene and regular examination of the teeth are
essential to prevent further problems. To determine the success or failure of
