Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Pediatric Root Canal. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
A pediatric root canal is a dental procedure that removes damaged or infected tissue from inside a child's tooth, allowing the tooth to be saved rather than extracted. It is recommended when decay, trauma, or infection has reached the pulp — the soft inner tissue containing nerves and blood vessels. Depending on how far the infection has spread, the procedure takes one of two forms: a pulpotomy, which removes only the upper portion of the pulp while leaving the root canals intact, or a pulpectomy, which removes the entire pulp and fills the canals with a material that safely dissolves as the tooth naturally sheds. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is usually completed in a single visit of 30 to 60 minutes. A stainless steel or tooth-coloured crown is typically placed afterwards to protect the treated tooth. Most children return to school the same day or the next day.
Only the infected upper portion of the pulp inside the tooth crown is removed; the root canals are left intact and treated with a medicated dressing, then the tooth is sealed with a crown.
Estimated cost: ~$100 – $200
Typical tests for this variant: Dental X-ray (periapical and/or bitewing), Clinical pulp vitality assessment, Random blood sugar (if sedation planned), Pediatric anesthesia/sedation clearance (if sedation planned). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $500 – $1,000
Hospitalisation: ~1 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~2 days recommended
Total stay: approx 3 days
