Description
Root canal therapy (RCT) is performed to repair and save a tooth that is badly infected or decayed. It is performed by an endodontist or root canal specialist. Root canal procedure involves the removal of the pulp followed by cleaning and sealing of the inner part of the tooth. A root canal is performed when the center part of the tooth, which houses the blood vessels, nerves and connective tissues, is infected. During a root canal, your dentist gives you a shot of local anesthesia which makes the entire process painless. The best root canal hospitals in India offer the latest equipment, advanced technology, best specialists and amazing Indian hospitality.
FAQ
1. How do I know which is the right hospital for me? How do I review/assess a hospital?
Nothing is more important for the treatment than the selection of the right hospital with the best doctors when it comes to getting root canal treatment in India. However, there are several factors which you should consider before deciding where you want to get your root canal therapy done. Some of those factors are mentioned below.
• Firstly, you should find out if the hospital where you seek root canal treatment is accredited by NABH or JCI. NABH stands for National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers and is a constituent board of Quality Control of India which assesses the quality and standard of the treatment being delivered across all hospitals in India. Joint Commission International (JCI) is a council board which helps international patients to assess the quality of treatment provided at medical centers around the world.
• Another factor to consider is the location of the hospital. Before selecting the root canal hospitals in India, you should find out the kind of services offered by the healthcare center. There are medical facilities located in isolated areas which provide treatment at low costs, but this is due to the absence of the latest medical equipment and technology.
• Does the healthcare center, which you have selected for your root canal treatment, have positive reviews? You can read reviews of former patients and other useful information about the hospital on our website.
• A very important factor which you should considered is whether the medical center is equipped with satisfactory equipment for performing root canal treatment or not? One can never overemphasize the importance of the skill, expertise and latest technologies.
2. What are the steps involved in a root canal procedure?
A root canal is usually performed in one sitting, or sometimes, 2-3 sittings, depending on the condition of the tooth. The duration of each sitting is between 30-90 minutes. After the endodontist gives you a shot of anesthesia, you experience little to no pain during the entire procedure.
The endodontist gives you a shot of local anesthesia at the very beginning.
After numbing the tooth and the surrounding areas, the endodontist drills an opening through the crown to enable access to the pulp chamber. The endodontist drills an opening from behind the tooth in cases where it’s a front tooth.
Next, the endodontist cleans out the diseased, infected and dead pulp from the canals. This procedure is painless because anesthesia is applied to the area, while the tissue which is removed is dead.
After the infected and dead tissue is removed, disinfectants are used to disinfect the canals.
Then the canals are shaped with fine instruments and filled with a filling known as gutta-percha and sealed. During the shaping process, the canals are washed and clean using the irrigation method.
The gutta-percha is covered with a temporary cover material and kept in place till a crown or cap is placed above the treated tooth.
Finally, the crown is cemented so that it becomes permanent.
3. What are the reasons behind the variation in the cost of treatments at different hospitals in the same country or location?
Treatment costs at different hospitals vary due to several reasons. Some of them are:
Location of the hospital
Types of treatment provided and their duration
The kind of technology used for the treatment
Types of services offered at the hospital
The infrastructure of the hospital
Fees charged by the doctors
