Root Canal Treatment

Root canal (endodontic) treatment saves a tooth whose inner pulp has become inflamed or infected, by cleaning and disinfecting the canals and sealing them. Stomatologia Słubice prices the treatment by the number of canals — front teeth typically have one and molars more — with X-rays and local anaesthesia included. The clinic also offers optional laser disinfection of the canals for more thorough cleaning, and uses magnification for precise work.

Inside every tooth is a soft core of nerve and blood vessels called the pulp. When decay, a crack or repeated treatment lets bacteria reach the pulp, it can become inflamed or infected, often causing pain or an abscess. Root canal treatment removes the damaged pulp, cleans and shapes the fine canals inside the root, disinfects them and seals them with a stable filling material, allowing the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. The tooth is usually restored afterwards with a filling or, where a lot of structure has been lost, a crown. At Stomatologia Słubice the treatment is priced transparently by the number of canals the tooth has — a single-canal front tooth costs less than a three-canal molar — and the quoted price already includes the necessary X-rays and local anaesthesia, so treatment is carried out comfortably numb. Re-treatment, where a previously root-filled tooth needs to be reopened and re-cleaned, is more complex and carries a 50% surcharge. The clinic offers optional laser disinfection of the canal system, which is intended to reduce bacteria more thoroughly than cleaning alone, and uses magnification for accuracy in the narrow canals. Mild tenderness for a few days afterwards is common and usually settles. A successfully treated and properly restored tooth is associated with lasting function; the dentist advises whether a filling or a crown is the best final restoration and, for cross-border patients, German-speaking reception can help fit treatment into a visit.
