What it is
A root canal removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the canals, and usually ends with a crown to protect the tooth. Price depends on the tooth (front or molar) and whether retreatment is needed.
Trips needed
Typically 1 to 2 visits for the root canal itself. A crown is usually a separate visit or two, which adds time and cost.
Questions to ask any clinic
- Is the price per tooth, and is it for a front tooth or a molar?
- Is a crown included, or is it a separate charge?
- What materials are used to seal the canals, and what is the warranty on the treatment?
- What happens if the tooth needs retreatment or an apicoectomy later?
- What is the license number (cédula profesional) of the dentist or endodontist who will treat the tooth?
