Macau Root Canal Therapy Prices and Burial FAQs

In fact, everyone has a good understanding of root canal therapy, and today I will answer the common problems encountered by root canal therapy in Macau, hoping to help you.

Root canal therapy?

Endodontics is a dental treatment that deals with the pulp of the tooth and the tissue around the end of the root of the implanted tooth. The pulp contains nerves and other soft tissues, and if the tooth is deeply decayed or damaged by an accident such as impact, burst, or breakage, it is usually not possible to repair it by itself. If the pulp is inflamed or infected, the root of the tooth needs to be removed.

Do you want to do Root?

Every healthy tooth has a pulp cavity that contains the pulp, nerves and blood vessels. The pulp forms during tooth growth, and when the tooth is exposed to extreme temperatures, the pulp becomes sensitive, and the tooth is decayed. However, not all cavities can be solved with fillings, and if the decayed part is too deep, the pulp may become irreversibly inflamed, leading to infection. Once the pulp of a tooth is damaged, the tooth begins to die, causing pain – toothache. Over time, the infection can spread along the root of the tooth, causing damage around the root. Other causes of pulp damage include deep fillings, trauma, cracked teeth and periodontal disease.

Is there any other choice than the root of the tooth?

If the tooth is damaged or lost and the pulp is endangered, you can only do root canal treatment or extraction. Tooth extraction can cause a lot of problems, as if it affects chewing and speaking. The isolated tooth and the opposite tooth will shift over time, which may increase the risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease. Missing anterior teeth can lead to cosmetic problems that affect self-confidence and self-esteem. If possible, root canal treatment is the best option to save the tooth.

What are the steps of root canal therapy?

First, the dentist will remove the decayed part of the tooth and then make an incision on the upper part of the tooth. Through this opening, the damaged pulp tissue is removed, and then the root canal is flushed and sterilized. Sometimes your dentist will insert a root canal and seal the opening with a temporary filling until your next follow-up appointment. When the root canal is rinsed and dried, the dentist seals the root canal with a filling and fills the core of the tooth to seal the opening at the top of the tooth. If the remaining tooth structure is not intact, it may be necessary to add support nails to support the core of the tooth, depending on the doctor's diagnosis. After the root is completed, in order to better protect the back teeth (premolars are the same as molars), crowns are usually added to the teeth. Sometimes crowns may be needed if the front teeth are affected. Teeth need to be supported by adequate bones.

Is there a benefit to root canal therapy?

Root can save a tooth that would otherwise be extracted. If you can, it's best to keep your teeth. However, sometimes if the decayed part is too large or the wound is too severe, the tooth may not be retained. The root can only be done if the root canal can be accessed, cleaned and closed to the ground. Teeth need to be supported by adequate bones.

Will the root of the tooth be painful?

The root of the tooth does not cause pain, but actually helps relieve pain. If you have severe toothache, it may be due to damage to the tissues that have entered the tooth. The root will remove the damaged tooth tissue, so it can relieve your pain. Anesthetics are administered before the treatment, so there is no pain during the treatment.

How much does it cost?

The price of root canal treatment in Macau generally varies depending on the location and complexity of the tooth. Root canal treatment for anterior teeth is usually relatively simple, with a cost of MOP 2,000 to MOP 4,000. The cost of the posterior teeth (molars) may be higher due to their complex structure, ranging from MOP 3,000 to MOP 6,000. The price may vary depending on the charges between the clinic and the doctor. 

Vickong Dental is one of the few units that publishes the price list. It is also one of the very few medical units that charge fees in strict accordance with the published price list.

Except for the charges on the price list, there are no hidden charges.
