Save a tooth (as well as a tidy sum of money) with root canal treatment in Giza, home to the oldest 7th Wonder of the World: the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Dental Departures makes finding and booking in with a verified dentist quick, easy and worry-free, with the best prices online and a free cancellation policy.

The procedure, normally carried out under local anaesthesia ( thus mostly painless ), entails removing the previously infected soft tissue from the pulp chamber, roots and root canals of the tooth.

The inside of the tooth (or teeth) in question is then cleaned thoroughly and sealed with a filling to prevent debris and bacteria from re-entry and re-infection.

In some cases where the cavity is too large or the structural integrity of the tooth has been compromised, a crown will be made and fitted to provide that additional support.

In this case, you will need to plan a stay in Egypt for a few more days, but the root canal procedure itself should only take an hour or two, depending on the amount of debris needed to be removed.

(Note: the prices above are approximate. Please check our current prices for your selected clinic for estimated costs of treatment).

Situated just across the mighty River Nile from Cario, the Egyptian capital city of Giza is home to an abundance of ancient archaeological sites, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, other pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx of Giza.

These world-famous sights attract millions of visitors every year, with guided tours available around the area and even inside some of the tombs that date back to the 26th century BC.

Aside from the history of Giza (and our dentists operating in the area), Giza is an often crowded, bustling city. Yet dental tourists can still find plenty of peaceful hotels hidden amongst the dusty alleyways, as well as high-end bars (if you look hard enough), world-class restaurants and spas.

Or, if you don’t mind the crowds, head to one of Giza’s open markets (souks), venture around a museum or find a table and chair at night for some sumptuous Egyptian street food.

Some of the top attractions and activities in Giza are listed below:

• The Great Pyramid of Giza

• The Great Sphinx of Giza

• The Giza Citadel, including the Muhammad Ali Mosque

• Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad Mosque

• Coptic Giza, the oldest part of the city

• The Hanging Church

• Monastery and Church of St George (a Greek Orthodox church)

• Al-Azhar Park

• The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square

• The Grand Egyptian Museum on the Giza Plateau.

• River Nile boat tours/cruises

• The Islamic Giza

• Khan el Khalil is Giza’s open-air souk
