You are eligible for a root canal treatment if it appears that the tissue in the root canal is inflamed or has previously been inflamed. These inflammations are caused by bacteria in the nerve canal and can be quite painful. If the root canal treatment proves too complex, we will refer you to an endodontist. You can only visit an endodontist with a referral from your dentist.
Costs of a root canal treatment
The costs of a root canal treatment depend on exactly which treatment you need to undergo. In addition, all insurance companies have different regulations about insuring certain dental treatments.
To get a clear idea of what exactly a root canal treatment will cost, we can make a cost estimate, so that you know where you stand. With this cost estimate, it is best to consult your insurance to know what reimbursement you can expect. This way you will not be faced with unexpected high costs.
Is a root canal treatment painful?
A root canal treatment itself normally does not hurt. Before the treatment begins, an anesthetic is applied. If you do not seek treatment, you will probably be in pain much more and for a longer period of time and ultimately you will not be able to avoid treatment.
