Is Root Canal Painful? The Truth

The Truth About Root Canal Treatment in 2026

Modern dental examination — Dr. Siddharth's Dental Care, Ahmedabad

If you have been told you need a root canal in Ahmedabad and feeling anxious, you are not alone. Root canals have one of the worst reputations in dentistry — but in 2026, that reputation is completely outdated.

What actually happens during RCT?

• Step 1: Local anaesthesia — you feel numb within 2–3 minutes
• Step 2: Infected pulp removed using rotary instruments
• Step 3: Canals cleaned, shaped and disinfected
• Step 4: Tooth sealed with biocompatible material
• Step 5: Crown placed to protect the tooth long-term

Root Canal vs Extraction — which is better?

Saving your natural tooth is almost always better than extracting it. When a tooth is removed, the jawbone shrinks, adjacent teeth shift, and replacement costs significantly more. Root canal treatment saves your natural tooth.

Cost in Ahmedabad

RCT typically costs ₹3,000–₹8,000 depending on the tooth. Most cases completed in 1–2 visits at our Shyamal Cross Road clinic.
