Gentle Root Canal Treatment in Patna to Save Your Natural Tooth
A toothache that keeps you awake, pain when you bite, or a tooth that stays sensitive long after a hot or cold drink are signs that the nerve inside your tooth may be infected. Many people fear the words “root canal”, but in reality it is the treatment that ends the pain and saves the tooth.
Apollo Dental Care offers root canal treatment in Patna (RCT) on Boring Road. We use modern rotary instruments and effective anaesthesia, and many cases can be completed in a single sitting. Our dentists explain every step before starting, so you know what to expect.
What Is Root Canal Treatment (RCT)?
Service Overview
Every tooth has three layers: hard white enamel on the outside, a strong layer called dentin beneath it, and a soft centre called the pulp. The pulp holds the tooth’s nerves and blood vessels and runs through narrow channels inside the roots, called root canals.
When deep decay, a crack, a leaking old filling or an injury lets bacteria reach the pulp, it becomes inflamed and infected. This causes pain, and if it is left untreated the infection can spread through the root tip into the bone. The result can be swelling, a painful abscess and, in the end, loss of the tooth.
Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the root canals and seals them so bacteria cannot return. The tooth is then rebuilt and, usually, protected with a crown. You keep your natural tooth, and the pain is gone.
What Your Root Canal Treatment Includes
What’s Included:
- Consultation and examination: a careful check of the painful tooth, gums and bite
- Digital X-ray: to see the root shape and the extent of the infection
- Local anaesthesia: so the tooth is fully numb and you stay comfortable
- Rotary RCT: modern rotary instruments to clean and shape the canals efficiently
- Disinfection: antibacterial rinses to clear bacteria from the canals
- Sealing of the canals: a biocompatible filling to close the canals
- Core build-up: rebuilding the tooth with a strong filling
- Crown advice and fitting: protection for the treated tooth, where needed
- Aftercare guidance: simple instructions for a smooth recovery
Don’t Ignore Tooth Pain. Early Treatment Saves Your Tooth.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Benefits of This Service:
- Relief from pain: removing the infection removes the source of the toothache.
- You keep your natural tooth: nothing works quite like your own tooth, so saving it is best whenever possible.
- Protects your other teeth: neighbouring teeth stay in place and share the chewing load.
- Stops the infection spreading: it protects your gums, jaw bone and general health.
- Normal chewing and a natural smile: with a crown, the tooth works and looks like your other teeth.
- Often more economical than replacing the tooth: saving a tooth usually costs less than an implant or bridge.
Root Canal Treatment Step by Step
Understand how root canal treatment helps remove infection, relieve tooth pain and preserve your natural tooth. Our dentist explains every stage before treatment begins.
02
💉
Anaesthesia and Isolation
Local anaesthesia numbs the tooth and surrounding area. A thin rubber sheet helps keep the tooth dry and isolated from saliva during treatment.
03
🦷
Opening and Cleaning
A small opening is made in the tooth. The infected or inflamed pulp is removed, and fine instruments are used to clean the root canals.
04
💧
Disinfection
The canals are rinsed with suitable antibacterial solutions to reduce bacteria and remove debris from areas that instruments cannot fully reach.
05
✨
Sealing the Canals
After cleaning and drying, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to help prevent bacteria from re-entering.
06
👑
Build-up and Dental Crown
The tooth is restored with a suitable filling or build-up. A crown may be recommended, especially for back teeth, to help protect the tooth from cracking.
What Does “Single Sitting” Mean?
In straightforward cases, the examination, cleaning, disinfection and sealing can often be completed in one visit, usually taking about an hour. Severe infection, swelling or very curved roots may require two visits for appropriate treatment. Your dentist will explain the recommended approach after examining your tooth.
Treatment time depends on your individual case.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canal Treatment in Patna
Have questions about root canal treatment? Find answers about pain, treatment time, cost, recovery and how to protect your tooth.
Is root canal treatment painful?
No. With effective anaesthesia, root canal treatment usually feels similar to getting a filling. The procedure removes the infected tissue that was causing your tooth pain.
Can a root canal be completed in one visit?
Many straightforward cases can be completed in a single sitting of about an hour. Teeth with severe infection or swelling may need two visits. Your dentist will recommend the right approach after examining your tooth.
How long does root canal treatment take?
A single-sitting root canal usually takes around 45 to 60 minutes. Back teeth with several canals or more complex infections may require additional time.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Usually, yes, especially for back teeth. A tooth treated with a root canal may become more prone to cracking. A dental crown helps protect the tooth and restore its strength and function.
How long does a root-treated tooth last?
A root-treated tooth can last many years and sometimes a lifetime. Its longevity depends on proper restoration, regular brushing and flossing, and routine dental check-ups.
What is the cost of root canal treatment in Patna?
Root canal treatment in Patna usually costs around ₹3,500 to ₹6,500, depending on the tooth and the complexity of the case. A crown may cost extra. We provide a clear estimate after examining your tooth.
Can I eat after a root canal?
Yes, once the numbness has completely worn off. Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until the permanent filling or crown has been placed, and follow your dentist's instructions.
Can I go to work after a root canal?
Most people can return to work or their usual activities on the same day or the following day. Your recovery may depend on the complexity of treatment and how you feel afterwards.
What happens if I ignore tooth pain?
The infection may spread and cause swelling, an abscess or even tooth loss. Delaying treatment can also make the problem more complex and costly to manage.
Is it better to remove the tooth than to have a root canal?
Saving your natural tooth is usually preferable when it can be restored successfully. If the tooth cannot be saved, your dentist can explain alternatives such as a dental implant or bridge.
Will I get a bill I can use for insurance?
We provide itemised bills and a treatment summary that you can submit for insurance claims, where applicable. Reimbursement depends on your individual dental insurance plan and its coverage terms.
