Perhaps the most unbearable feeling may be tooth pain. Decay’s penetration into the nerve or tooth’s deep crack is the scenario when the bacteria get into the root canals, which leads to extreme pain, sensitivity, and swelling. In such cases, Root Canal Treatment (RCT) would be the preferred option to save the tooth over its extraction.
At Partha Dental’s Vanasthalipuram clinic, we specialize in painless, advanced root canal procedures performed by experienced endodontists using modern rotary tools and digital X-rays.
This all-inclusive blog will provide you with all the details you need to know—what is root canal treatment, how the treatment is done, what crowns are, their prices, dos and don’ts, single vs multi-root RCT, questions and answers, and the reasons why Partha Dental Vanasthalipuram is one of the best choices for root canal treatment.
Root Canal Treatment Explained
A tooth has three layers:
- Enamel – the hard outer layer
- Dentin – the middle sensitive layer
- Pulp – the innermost part that contains nerves and blood vessels
Tooth’s pulp when inflamed or infected means the only possible salvation for the tooth is root canal treatment. The surgery includes getting rid of the sour pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and covering them with a protective material.
Root canal treatment saves the natural tooth, prevents extraction, and restores full chewing function.
Common Reasons for Needing a Root Canal
- Deep cavity reaching the nerve
- Cracked or broken tooth
- Trauma or injury
- Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
- Severe sensitivity and swelling
Root Canal Procedure at Partha Dental’s Vanasthalipuram branch – Step by Step
Patients are usually of the opinion that RCT is a painful procedure, but modern dentistry has completely overturned that. The clinic of Partha Dental in Vanasthalipuram offers the treatment with 100% painlessness due to the use of advanced anaesthetics and rotary endodontics.
Here is how the procedure works:
1. Consultation & X-Ray
Your dentist first examines the tooth and takes a digital X-ray to identify:
- Number of canals
- Depth of infection
- Condition of the bone
- Whether a single or multi-visit RCT is required
2. Local Anesthesia
The tooth and surrounding area are fully numbed. You will not feel any pain.
3. Access Opening
A small opening is made on the tooth surface to reach the infected pulp.
4. Cleaning of Root Canals
Rotary files and disinfectants are used to eliminate bacteria and remove infected tissue.
For multi-rooted teeth (molars), each canal is individually cleaned.
5. Shaping the Canals
The canals are shaped properly so that they can be filled safely.
6. Filling the Canals
A biocompatible filling material (gutta-percha) is inserted into each canal to seal the tooth from inside.
7. Temporary or Permanent Filling
A filling material is placed to close the top surface.
8. Crown Placement (Mandatory for long-term protection)
Once the tooth heals, a crown (cap) must be placed to prevent fractures and restore strength.
Total time:
- Simple cases: Single sitting
- Complicated or infected cases: 2–3 sittings
What Is a Crown and When Is It Required?
After a root canal, the tooth becomes hollow and fragile. A dental crown (cap) protects the tooth from breaking and restores full chewing function.
When is a crown required?
A crown is recommended in almost all RCT cases, especially when:
- The tooth has large decay
- The tooth is a molar or premolar used for chewing
- The patient grinds teeth
- There is a crack or fracture
- The tooth becomes weak after RCT
Types of crowns:
- Metal ceramic crown
- Full ceramic crown
- Zirconia crown (most durable and aesthetic)
Crown placement ensures your RCT-treated tooth lasts 10–15 years or more.

Dos and Don’ts After Root Canal Treatment
DOs
- Take prescribed antibiotics and painkillers
- Chew food on the opposite side until crown placement
- Maintain oral hygiene with gentle brushing
- Come for follow-up appointments
- Get the crown fixed within 5–7 days
DON’Ts
- Do not chew hard foods like nuts or ice on the treated tooth
- Avoid sticky foods (chewing gum, caramel)
- Don’t delay the crown—risk of tooth fracture increases
- Avoid smoking or cold foods immediately after anesthesia
- Don’t skip medications or follow-ups
Single vs Multi-Root RCT
Single Root Canal (Front Tooth)
- 1 canal
- Easy access
- Less infection
- Usually completed in one sitting
- Costs less
Multi-Root RCT (Molars & Premolars)
- 2 to 4 canals
- More complex
- Higher infection chances
- Often requires 2–3 sittings
- Costs more due to complexity
Multi-root teeth need more precision and time, which is why their pricing is higher.
