# Root canal treatment in Butwal

Medically reviewed by [Dr. Rekha Pandey, BDS (NMC 38136)](https://kashyapdental.com.np/dr-rekha-pandey)

**Short answer:** Root canal treatment (RCT) removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals it, and saves the tooth instead of extracting it. It is done under local anaesthesia, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain, and it usually relieves the toothache. Treatment typically takes one to three visits, and a crown is often recommended afterwards to protect the tooth.

**Price:** Root canal treatment at Kashyap Dental & Aesthetics, Butwal costs NPR 10,000 for single-visit RCT or NPR 8,000–12,000 for multi-visit RCT, done by Dr. Rekha Pandey (BDS) under local anaesthesia. Children's RCT for milk teeth costs NPR 3,000.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is root canal better than extraction?

Keeping your natural tooth is usually better for chewing and for the neighbouring teeth. Extraction may be needed if the tooth cannot be saved.

### How long does a root-canal-treated tooth last?

With a good restoration and oral hygiene, it can last many years.
