Root Canal Treatment — Front Tooth

Root canal treatment for a front tooth (incisor), removing inflamed or infected pulp from the single canal, disinfecting it and sealing it to keep the natural tooth. Front teeth are simpler than molars, so the treatment is quicker and listed at a lower fixed price. At Stomatologia Centrum Stargard it is performed under local anaesthetic with X-ray imaging to confirm the canal is properly cleaned and sealed.

When the pulp inside a front tooth becomes irreversibly inflamed or infected — through deep decay, a knock to the tooth or a crack — root canal treatment can save it rather than resorting to extraction. The procedure removes the damaged tissue from inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the canal and then seals it, relieving pain and stopping the spread of infection. Incisors (the front teeth) typically have a single, relatively straightforward canal, so treatment is quicker and is listed at a lower fixed price than molar endodontics. At Stomatologia Centrum Stargard the treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, using the clinic's X-ray imaging to map the root and verify that the canal has been thoroughly cleaned and properly filled. Because front teeth are highly visible, preserving the natural tooth has an aesthetic as well as a functional benefit; in some cases a discoloured root-treated front tooth can later be improved with a veneer or crown, offered separately by the clinic. The incisor root canal is listed at 800 zł, with molar treatment from 1,000 zł and re-treatment of a previously root-filled tooth quoted individually, all set out on the published price list. The treatment is suitable for patients with an infected or badly damaged front tooth that is worth keeping; the dentist confirms the diagnosis and discusses any follow-on restoration at assessment.
