Root canal treatment at Radiant 32 is planned to remove no more of the tooth than necessary. Dr Madhulika Purkait examines the tooth carefully and takes an RVG X-ray first, showing how far infection has travelled. The image is shown to the patient through an intraoral camera. Local anaesthesia is injected as painlessly as possible, and the canal is opened precisely at the identified infection site. Rotary instruments shape narrow canals without over-widening the tooth, while an Apex locator determines the exact canal length.
Tell us the tooth that is bothering you and the clinic calls back during working hours with a slot. Nothing is charged to book the consultation fee of 500 rupees is paid at the clinic.
Don't wait out these signs of root canal infection. If any sound familiar, book a check - early treatment is smaller, faster and cheaper than treatment delayed.
A sharp or throbbing ache, especially when chewing, is a common sign the tooth's nerve needs root canal treatment.
Pain that lingers well after the hot or cold is gone points to an inflamed or infected nerve inside the tooth.
Swelling or a recurring bump on the gum near a tooth usually means infection is draining from the root underneath.
A tooth that has turned grey or dull yellow compared with its neighbours often means the nerve tissue has died.
Thorough cleaning and irrigation remove infection while preserving as much healthy natural tooth structure as possible. Sodium hypochlorite 5%, Chlorhexidine 2% and Normal Saline are used during irrigation. In infected or smelly canals, intracanal medicaments are injected and left for a fortnight in highly infected teeth. Obturation then closes the canals using ideal, high-quality Root Canal Sealers. Infected dentine is removed and a permanent filling is placed over the remaining tooth structure before the final crown is placed.
Once the canals are cleaned and sealed, the tooth is restored to help it withstand normal chewing. The aim is to remove the source of infection while preserving as much healthy natural tooth structure as possible.

Three stages cover every root canal booked at the clinic, from the first X-ray to the finished crown.
An RVG X-ray reveals how far infection has travelled. Dr Purkait examines the tooth carefully and shows the image to the patient through an intraoral camera. The canal is opened precisely at the infection site, while an Apex locator determines the exact working length.
Micro irrigation needles and a suction system help avoid accidental spillage and caustic damage to the oral mucosa. PPE is provided throughout treatment as a precautionary protocol. Rotaper next-generation files support better treatment outcomes with lesser file separation.
After cleaning and disinfection, obturation closes the canals with ideal, high-quality Root Canal Sealers. Infected dentine is removed and a permanent filling is placed over the remaining tooth structure before the final crown is placed.
Most painless root canal treatment at Radiant 32 is completed in a single sitting, occasionally two for a heavily infected molar. Old ideas about root canals being long and painful don't match how the treatment is actually done today. The tooth is fully numbed with local anaesthetic before anything begins Dr Purkait confirms you're comfortable at every stage rather than assuming it. If decay is caught early enough that the nerve isn't yet involved, a simple filling may be all that's needed instead - that call is made honestly at the exam. Once the canal is cleaned, shaped and sealed, a temporary filling closes the tooth until the crown is ready most patients return to normal eating the same day.
Four reasons patients choose Radiant 32 for root canal treatment, again and again in reviews and at the chair.
Dr Madhulika Purkait personally plans and completes every root canal treatment at Radiant 32.
The anaesthetic is given time to work fully treatment pauses the moment you raise a hand.
A throbbing or swollen tooth is assessed and calmed the day you call, even if your full root canal treatment is booked for later.
A tooth that wakes you at night, throbs against hot drinks or has swollen the gum around it usually needs the nerve treated rather than another filling. The tooth is numbed, the infected pulp is cleaned out, the canals are sealed and a crown protects what is left.
Most root canal treatment cases here finish in one or two sittings. The alternative - extraction - costs less on the day and much more later, because the gap then needs a bridge or an implant to stop the neighbouring teeth drifting.
Recovery is usually straightforward. These four points cover what actually matters in the first few days.
Take the prescribed painkillers as directed and give the treated area a day or two to settle before chewing on it.
Keep brushing and flossing as usual, just gently around the treated tooth, to help the gum heal cleanly.
Stick to soft foods and avoid anything very hot, cold or hard until the crown is fitted.
Keep the appointment for the permanent crown - an unprotected tooth is the one most likely to crack later.
Accurate diagnosis helps prevent complications. Dr Madhulika Purkait first examines the tooth carefully and takes an RVG X-ray to reveal how far the infection has travelled and identify the canals. The image is shown to the patient through an intraoral camera. The canal is opened precisely at the infection site, while an Apex locator determines the exact working length. Rotary instruments shape narrow canals without over-widening the tooth. Rotaper next-generation files support better treatment outcomes with lesser file separation, while thorough sterilisation protocols are followed for files, needles and other instruments throughout treatment.
A toothache rarely improves on its own root canal treatment is almost always smaller and cheaper the earlier it's caught. Call the clinic or leave your number and Radiant 32 will call you back with a slot that fits your week.
Five answers to the questions patients ask most before a root canal. Anything else, call the clinic and ask.
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic before anything starts, so a painless root canal treatment experience is the norm, not the exception. Mild soreness for a day or two afterwards settles with the medicine prescribed.
Most straightforward cases finish in one to two sittings. A heavily infected molar with several canals occasionally needs a third.
In almost every case, yes. The tooth becomes brittle after treatment a crown protects it from cracking under normal biting force.
It depends on the tooth and the crown material chosen. At Radiant 32, the exact cost is confirmed in writing after the X-ray and exam, so nothing is estimated over the phone.
Saving the natural tooth with root canal treatment is usually the better long-term choice. Extraction is quicker on the day, but the gap it leaves often needs a bridge or an implant later, which costs more than the root canal would have.
