Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Years ago I had a bicycle accident in which I injured the upper right lateral incisor. My dentist and I have now treated it twice. Unfortunately, a lesion is visible on the X-ray.
The dentist decided not to extract the tooth. We have now placed a post in the tooth and a new ceramic crown connected to the central incisor.
The tooth itself does not hurt, but occasionally on the palate I feel that something is not quite right with the root. What I feel is not pain, but a very strange sensation, perhaps slightly stinging, which alerts me that there is something at this root.
I have read quite a lot on websites and supposedly even roots of non-vital teeth where a lesion is visible can be saved.
I would like to know whether this is possible, in what way, what the price is and how long the waiting time is.
Kind regards,
Ksenja
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Given that the tooth has been restored with a post and crown, the most likely only solution is an apicoectomy, i.e. removal of the root tip. The price of the procedure is EUR 90. We try to adapt the waiting time to the nature of the problem.
Have a nice day!
