Root Canal Treatment Cost in India

The cost of Root Canal Treatment in India typically ranges from $500 to $6,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, cleans the canals and seals them, saving a tooth that would otherwise need extraction (NHS 111 Wales). The cost per tooth depends on:

• Tooth type: molars have more canals and take longer than front teeth.
• Re-treatment: redoing an old root canal costs more.
• Crown: often needed afterwards and priced separately.
• Specialist endodontist: for complex cases.

Root canal treatment is priced per tooth. Ask whether the crown is included.

• Deep decay
• Cracked or broken teeth
• Dental abscess
• Gum disease: reaching the root.

Without treatment, the tooth may need to be taken out (NHS 111 Wales).

NHS 111 Wales describes the process: local anaesthetic, a hole drilled in the tooth, infected pulp removed and any abscess drained, canals cleaned and shaped, then filled and sealed. It usually takes two or more visits of one to two hours, though single-visit treatment is common in India. A crown may be needed if the tooth was badly damaged.

• Soreness: eases within a couple of weeks. Paracetamol or ibuprofen helps.
• Avoid chewing hard foods: on the tooth until it is crowned.
• Follow-up: attend review appointments.
• Hygiene: brush and clean between teeth daily.
