Root Canal Treatment in Kanpur — by a specialist endodontist.
Pain-free RCT at MY DENTIST, Kakadeo, performed by an MDS-qualified endodontist with 21+ years of clinical experience.
What is root canal treatment?
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) saves a severely infected or damaged tooth by removing the infected pulp — the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels — cleaning and disinfecting the canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection.
Despite its reputation, a root canal performed by a specialist is a routine, comfortable procedure. It relieves the pain caused by infection — it does not cause it. At My Dentist, RCT is performed by a qualified MDS Endodontist, not a general practitioner offering it as a side service.
Why the doctor's qualification matters for your root canal.
When you need a root canal, the most important question is not where — it is who.
Dr. Asheesh K. Sawhny holds an MDS in Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics from KLE Institute of Dental Sciences, Belgaum. He is Principal & Professor at Rama Dental College, Kanpur and Head of the Department of Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics.
When do you need root canal treatment?
Persistent toothache, especially when biting or applying pressure
Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold that does not resolve quickly
Swollen, tender, or darkened gums near a tooth
Darkening or discolouration of a tooth
A pimple-like bump (abscess) on the gum
Deep decay, a cracked tooth, or repeated procedures on the same tooth
Benefits of root canal treatment.
Saves your natural tooth — avoids extraction
Eliminates infection and relieves pain
Restores normal chewing and biting function
Prevents infection from spreading to adjacent teeth or bone
Long-lasting result when followed by an appropriate crown
Preserves your natural smile and facial structure
Microscope-assisted precision (Carl Zeiss) for complex or narrow canals
What happens inside an infected tooth.
Infection reaches the pulp chamber and nerve at the tooth's core. RCT removes this infected tissue, cleans the canals, and seals the tooth — relieving pain at its source.
What to expect at MY DENTIST for RCT.
Comprehensive diagnosis, treatment planning, specialist care and post-treatment guidance — every step is explained before it happens.
Diagnosis & assessment
X-rays and clinical examination assess the tooth, bone and pulp. You receive a clear explanation of sittings and care before anything begins.
Local anaesthesia
The area is numbed with effective local anaesthesia — most patients feel far less discomfort than expected.
Canal cleaning & shaping
Infected pulp is removed; canals are cleaned, shaped and disinfected using specialist rotary endodontic instruments.
Filling & sealing
Canals are filled with biocompatible gutta-percha and sealed to prevent future bacterial entry.
Crown placement
For most posterior teeth, a crown restores strength and protects the tooth from fracture long-term.

Root Canal FAQs.
Does a root canal hurt?
With specialist technique and appropriate local anaesthesia, modern root canal treatment is comfortable. Most patients report far less discomfort than expected.
How many sittings does RCT take?
Single-sitting RCT is possible for straightforward cases. Complex anatomy or severe infection may need two or more sittings.
Do I need a crown after root canal treatment?
In most cases, yes — particularly for molars and premolars, which bear chewing load. A crown protects the tooth from fracture.
Is root canal better than extraction?
In almost all cases, saving your natural tooth is preferable to extraction, which leads to bone loss and shifting teeth.
How long does a treated tooth last after RCT?
A properly treated and crowned tooth can last many years — often a lifetime — with regular dental care.
What is the cost of root canal treatment in Kanpur?
RCT fees vary by tooth type and case complexity. Consultation fee is ₹500 — book for an accurate, personalised quote.
Can a root canal fail?
