Root Canal Treatment in Sri Lanka: Pain-Free, Affordable, and Fast
When tooth pain strikes — especially during travel — a root canal treatment (RCT) can be the difference between saving your tooth or losing it. At Cayo Dental International in Kandy, Sri Lanka, we offer painless, affordable, and modern root canal treatments, tailored for both local patients and dental tourists on a limited timeline.
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
Common symptoms that indicate the need for RCT include:
Constant toothache or pain when chewing
Sensitivity to hot and cold that lingers
Swelling around the tooth or face
Darkening of the tooth
Previous trauma or deep cavities
💬 Early intervention can save the tooth and reduce complications.
How Root Canal Treatment Works at Cayo Dental
At Cayo Dental, our process is precise, fast, and designed to minimize discomfort.
Here’s how it works:
Consultation & Digital X-Ray
We examine the tooth and confirm the need for RCT.Anesthesia & Isolation
Local anesthesia ensures a completely pain-free procedure.Cleaning & Shaping the Canals
Using modern rotary systems, we clean and shape the root canals.Disinfection & Filling
Canals are disinfected and sealed with biocompatible material.Permanent Restoration
Depending on the tooth, we either place a permanent filling or recommend a dental crown for strength.
Aftercare & What Comes Next
After your root canal:
Mild discomfort is normal for 1–2 days
A permanent crown is highly recommended (especially for molars)
Avoid chewing on the tooth until fully restored
We provide post-treatment care instructions and remote support if you’re traveling again
Can Root Canal Be Done in One Visit?
Yes — in many cases, single-visit RCT is possible, especially for front or premolar teeth. For complex molars or re-treatments, we may schedule a second appointment within 2–3 days.
This makes it ideal for:
Dental tourists with limited stay
Emergency dental care during travel
Patients preferring fewer appointments
