Root canal treatment in Gunadala, Vijayawada

At GIA Clinics Gunadala, near Hyatt Place, this treatment is led by Dr Sreeja and Dr Lalitya.

Is it right for you

Who it suits.

Your first visit answers this properly, with an examination and, where needed, a scan, before you commit to anything.

Usually suits you if

  • Lingering pain with hot or cold food
  • Throbbing toothache, especially at night
  • Swelling or a pimple on the gum near a tooth
  • Deep decay or a cracked tooth that reaches the nerve

Tell us first if

  • Diabetes, heart conditions or blood-thinning medicines
  • Allergies to medicines or local anaesthetic
  • Pregnancy
  • A tooth that has already had root canal treatment before
What happens, step by step

From first visit to aftercare.

  1. Check-up & X-ray

    We examine the tooth, test it and take an X-ray to see the decay, the roots and any infection.

    Visit 1

  2. Numbing & access

    The tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic and a small opening is made to reach the pulp inside.

  3. Cleaning the canals

Questions

Common questions.

Answers to be checked by the doctor

Is root canal treatment painful?

The tooth is numbed first, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. The tooth may feel tender for a few days afterwards.

Can it be done in one visit?

Often yes, if the infection is limited. Teeth with more infection or curved canals may need two or three visits.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

Usually yes for back teeth, because a treated tooth can become brittle. Your dentist will advise for front teeth case by case.

What if I just remove the tooth instead?

Removing it is possible, but the gap may later need an implant, bridge or denture. Saving your own tooth is usually the first choice.
