Patients will generally know they need treatment when:

• A tooth becomes painful

• The gums around the tooth swell up

• You experience swelling around the localised area, often spreading to other areas of the face and neck

A root canal procedure is performed by an endodontist in order to save an infected tooth—and save you a lot more pain down the line.

During the procedure, pulp and nerve tissue are removed from the tooth before the empty cavity is cleaned thoroughly and filled. If the cavity is too large for a filling, a crown may also be placed to add additional support.

Contrary to popular belief, the root canal procedure itself is not painful as a local anesthetic is used to completely numb the area.

Post and core build-up treatment is another area of endodontics whereby a similar technique is applied when a patient has significant coronal tooth structure loss.

Specialist endodontists at our partner clinics in Gyor offer this and a flexible range of other root canal solutions, either with or without a crown.

Post/core build-up treatment in Gyor starts from EUR 40 (GBP 35).

Note: Prices depend on which tooth is being treated (i.e. molar, premolar, anterior).
