Macau Root Canal treatment price and money-saving package

When a tooth is diseased or corroded, the pain is often unbearable. In many cases, extraction of the affected tooth seems to be the only way to get out. Sometimes, however, the natural tooth can be preserved by removing the decayed tissue inside the root of the tooth, which is where root canal treatment comes in. This treatment is usually performed under local anesthesia, and the dentist carefully removes the infected pulp, which contains the nerve and vascular tissue inside the tooth. The entire treatment process usually requires the patient to visit the dental office once or twice to complete.

Root canal treatment is a delicate endodontic treatment designed to remove bacteria that infect the root canal, prevent it from recurring, and create a barrier against microbial attack in the purified tooth. In Macau, root canal treatment is not as rare as one might think, in fact, it is one of the common dental procedures.

1. The main stages of root canal treatment

1. Consultation & Dental
AssessmentThe dentist will examine the condition of the tooth root in detail through X-rays and assess the vitality of the pulp. This step is crucial to help determine if you really need root canal treatment.

2. The process of root canal treatment

² Anesthesia: Before the treatment begins, the tooth is given a local anesthetic to ensure that the procedure is painless.

² Dental isolation and access: Your dentist will isolate the tooth that needs to be treated and use a soft and flexible material to protect your mouth.

² Cleaning, Bandaging & Filling: The dentist will delicately shape the root canal and thoroughly clean the affected area. The tooth is then bandaged with a temporary filling to ensure that it is well protected.

3. Precise placement of restorations

² Fillings (inlays/inlays/crowns): In the final stage of treatment, the dentist inserts a temporary support post inside the tooth to enhance its stability. Subsequently, the dentist will carefully attach inlays, inlays or crowns to the affected tooth to not only prevent further tooth decay but also restore the overall function of the tooth.

2. Factors affecting the cost of root canal treatment

1. The location of
the teeth has a direct impact on the cost of treatment. The size of the tooth and the number of its roots are the main factors that determine the cost. Molars are usually the most expensive to treat because they are large and may have up to three roots, making the treatment process more complicated. In contrast, anterior teeth (such as incisors and canines) are relatively inexpensive to treat due to their simple structure.

2. The complexity of the treatment, the
cost of the treatment also depends on the severity of the damage to the tooth and how much of the original structure can be preserved. The severity of the cavities, as well as the amount of work required for restoration, can affect the final cost of root canal treatment. If you detect and treat dental problems at an early stage, the complexity of treatment will be less and the cost will be reduced. However, if treatment is delayed, the infection may spread further, making treatment more difficult and costly.

3. Post-operative careDepending
on the situation, you may need follow-up check-ups or crowns on your teeth, which may incur additional costs. In addition, you will need to pay special attention to oral care after treatment, including regular brushing, cleaning and polishing to ensure that your teeth will remain in good condition in the future.
