Questions about root canal treatment
Is a root canal painful?
The tooth is fully numbed with local anaesthetic before treatment begins. Most patients feel pressure rather than pain, and mild soreness for a day or two afterwards is common.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Back teeth usually need a crown because a treated tooth can become brittle. Dr. Amulya will tell you whether yours does.
How much does a root canal cost?
It depends on the tooth and how many canals it has. The full plan and cost are explained before treatment starts.
Your options, the number of visits and the cost are explained before any treatment begins. More questions
