Root Canals Frequently Asked Questions:

 

My dentist told me that I need a root canal; can I do it in one appointment?
When the tooth has an abscess it’s necessary to take medicine for 3 days minimum or a week to reduce the infection and begin with the root canal. If the abscess can be treated radiological and the infection has decreased, the root canal can be done in one appointment (previous medication amoxicillin 500mg, take one each 6 hrs minimum 3 days or other non allergic medicament). If the infection stills, it’s necessary to clean the conduct and medicate for one week, then the root canal will be finished in 2 appointments.

Why the prices are different?
The front teeth from canine to canine only have one conduct, and the bicuspids have two conducts. The molars have from 3 to 5 conducts and they are a harder work so in this case the price fluctuates.

Why sometimes the tooth still hurt once the treatment is done?
Sometimes the tooth takes long to heal; it could be four weeks, but its considerate normal if it had a severe abscess.
In other cases it’s because the conduct has ramifications which are difficult to obturate.

When is necessary a core post, screw post or build up?
Is difficult to access the pulp (conduct) and we need open it or sometimes the tooth is so damaged that only has a small portion of natural tooth, this is when we need to put a core post or reconstruct with a screw post and build it up. When the overture to extract the nerve it’s tiny, we only obture with a filling.
