Root Canal
Root Canal Treatment abroad: Compare Verified Clinics
Save a damaged or infected tooth and relieve pain with root canal treatment. Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the canal, and relieves the pain caused by deep decay or infection, while saving the natural tooth rather than requiring extraction.
What to Expect
- Diagnosis and local anesthesia
- Removal of infected pulp and cleaning
- Sealing and crown placement if needed
- Procedure time
- 60-90 minutes
- Recovery
- Few days mild soreness
Why Choose Root Canal Abroad
Root canal treatment is frequently included in broader dental treatment plans abroad, often combined with a crown placement in the same trip when the tooth needs structural reinforcement afterward.
Is Root Canal Right for You?
This treatment is necessary when a tooth's nerve becomes infected or inflamed, typically due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or repeated dental procedures on the same tooth. A dentist confirms the need through examination and imaging.

All packagesFrequently Asked Questions
Is a root canal painful?
With modern anesthesia, root canal treatment is generally no more uncomfortable than getting a filling, despite its reputation, and effectively relieves the pain caused by the underlying infection.
Does a tooth need a crown after a root canal?
Back teeth that undergo root canal treatment often need a crown afterward for structural support, while front teeth may only need a filling depending on the extent of treatment.
What happens if a root canal is not treated?
An untreated infected tooth can lead to worsening pain, abscess formation, and potential tooth loss, making timely treatment important once symptoms appear.
