Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kids root canal cost in Bharuch?
Pulpotomy (partial pulp treatment for baby teeth): ₹1,500–₹2,500. Pulpectomy (full pulp treatment): ₹2,000–₹3,000. Usually followed by a stainless-steel or BioFlx crown (₹2,000–₹4,000).
Do baby teeth need root canal treatment?
Yes — a badly decayed baby tooth still needs to stay in the mouth until age 10–12 to hold space for the permanent tooth. Pulp therapy saves the tooth from extraction.
Is a baby root canal painful?
No — done under local anaesthesia with topical numbing first. Laughing-gas sedation is available for anxious children. Most kids sleep through it.
What is the difference between pulpotomy and pulpectomy?
Pulpotomy removes only the crown (top) part of the pulp; pulpectomy removes all of it including the roots. Which one is needed depends on how deep the infection has gone.
Does my child need a crown after a baby root canal?
Almost always — a treated baby tooth is fragile and needs a stainless-steel or aesthetic BioFlx crown to survive until it naturally falls out.
How long does the treatment take?
Usually completed in a single 45-minute sitting including the crown. Two visits only if the infection is severe.
Can I just get the tooth pulled instead?
Extraction is a last resort — losing a baby tooth too early causes the neighbouring teeth to drift, blocking the permanent tooth's space, often leading to braces later. Saving the tooth is almost always cheaper long-term.
What are the signs my child needs a root canal?
Persistent tooth pain, waking at night crying, swelling on the gum, a pimple next to the tooth, or refusal to chew on one side. A quick X-ray confirms it.
