Root canal therapy is a dental procedure used to treat infected or inflamed pulp. The dentist removes the damaged or infected pulp, cleans the root canal, and fills it with tooth material. Root canal treatment is often recommended when there is severe decay or damage that affects the pulp. The cost of root canal treatment depends on several factors, including location, type of dental office or hospital, and the position of the tooth in the mouth.

In India,  root canal treatment costs INR 2,500 to 10,000 (approximately $34 to $135) and in the US $500 to $1,500. However, costs may vary by state or city within the country. It is important to note that the cost of root canal treatment also varies depending on whether the treatment is performed by a general dentist or an endodontist.

Endodontists are dentists who specialize in treating the internal structures of teeth, such as the pulp and root canals, and their services can be more expensive than general dentists. As with any dental treatment, it is advisable to choose a reputable dental office or hospital that offers quality care at an affordable price. Many dental insurance plans cover root canal treatments, so it’s a good idea to check with your insurance company to see if your coverage is covered.
