Looking for root canal treatment in Kozhikode? At SAIDS Dental Hospital, root canal treatment (RCT) is done by specialists in the Department of Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics. RCT removes the infected nerve from inside the tooth, relieves pain and saves your natural tooth.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
- Severe toothache, especially at night
- Pain while chewing or biting
- Long-lasting sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swelling of the gum or face
- Darkening of a tooth
- Deep cavity or broken tooth
Root Canal Procedure, Step by Step
- Examination and dental X-ray to check the infection
- Local anaesthesia so the procedure is comfortable
- Removal of the infected nerve and cleaning of the canals
- Shaping and sealing of the canals
- Temporary or permanent filling
- Crown placement to protect the tooth (usually for back teeth)
Treatment Options
- Standard root canal treatment
- Single-sitting RCT for suitable cases
- Re-RCT (retreatment) for failed old root canals
- Kids root canal (pulpectomy) by our Pedodontics department
- Post & core to rebuild badly broken teeth
After Root Canal Treatment
- Avoid chewing hard food on the tooth until the crown is fixed
- Mild soreness for 1–2 days is normal
- Brush and floss normally
- Complete the crown on time to prevent fracture

Good to Know
FAQs — Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
Q: Is root canal treatment painful?
A: No. It is done under local anaesthesia and is usually no more uncomfortable than a filling. It actually relieves the pain caused by infection.
Q: How many visits does a root canal take?
A: Many cases are completed in 1–2 visits. Single-sitting RCT is available for suitable cases.
Q: Do I need a crown after root canal treatment?
A: Back teeth usually need a crown to protect them from breaking. Your dentist will advise.
Q: Is it better to remove the tooth instead?
A: Saving your natural tooth is almost always better. A missing tooth affects chewing and the neighbouring teeth.

A: With a good crown and oral hygiene, it can last many years, often a lifetime.
