When treatment is needed
- strong, throbbing or night-time toothache
- long-lasting sensitivity to heat
- swelling or an abscess near the tooth
- deep decay or an injury that has reached the nerve
- a finding on an X-ray in an otherwise quiet tooth
How it works
- Diagnosis and an X-ray.
- Local anaesthesia and isolation of the tooth.
- Cleaning and disinfecting the canals – with complex anatomy under a microscope.
- Filling the canals and sealing the tooth – in one or more visits, depending on the extent.
- Final restoration of the tooth with a filling or a crown.
Price
Root canal treatment from 65 €. The final price depends on the number of canals and the difficulty; treatment with a microscope costs 50 €. Other prices are in our price list.
Frequently asked questions
Does root canal treatment hurt?
It is done under anaesthesia. Afterwards the tooth may be tender when biting for a few days.
Why do I need a crown afterwards?
A tooth without a nerve is more fragile. A crown protects it from breaking, especially back teeth.
Is the treatment always successful?
In most cases, yes. If problems return, the treatment can be repeated (re-treatment).
