1. Check the qualifications
Dentists in India complete a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS). Some go on to specialise with a Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) or further training in an area such as endodontics — the branch of dentistry that deals with root canal treatment.
For root canal treatment, a dentist with endodontic training has focused experience in cleaning and sealing the canals inside a tooth.
2. Look at hygiene and equipment
- A clean dental chair unit and treatment area
- Instruments that are sterilised or single-use, and gloves and masks worn during treatment
- Access to dental X-rays when needed for diagnosis
3. Expect clear explanations
- What is causing the problem, and what happens if it isn't treated
- The treatment options — for example, root canal treatment or extraction
- How many visits are likely, and the approximate cost
- How to look after the tooth afterwards
