What brings you in?

Pick what's bothering you to see which specialist treats it. The dentist will confirm after examining you.

Choose your concern

Endodontics

Root canal treatment can save the tooth

Pain that lingers, sensitivity to hot or cold, or a deep cavity usually means the inside of the tooth needs treatment. A root canal removes the infection and keeps your own tooth instead of pulling it out.

Questions patients ask

Something else on your mind? Message us on WhatsApp.

Is the clinic open on Sundays?

On Sundays the clinic sees patients by appointment only. Call or WhatsApp +91 92073 12191 to book. Monday to Saturday, it is open 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

Do I need an appointment?

Booking ahead is best, so the right specialist is available when you come. Call or WhatsApp +91 92073 12191.

Does root canal treatment hurt?

The tooth is numbed with a local anaesthetic first, so most people feel pressure rather than pain. Some soreness for a day or two afterwards is normal.

Do you treat children?

Yes. Our children's dentist, Dr. Ashwathy Raju (MDS, Paedodontics), treats cavities in milk teeth and helps with habits like thumb sucking and mouth breathing.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Bring any old dental X-rays or prescriptions, and a list of medicines you take regularly.
