Endodontics (root canal treatment)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam,
on your website I read about the experience of a woman who had a tooth that had been improperly treated endodontically. I suspect that the same is happening to me. Immediately after root canal treatment I had terrible pain that lasted for several months; after the pain subsided, the dead tooth became sensitive to cold or heat, as if I felt an electric shock.
I know that without an examination it is difficult to assess the situation remotely, so I would also like to ask about the cost of root canal treatment at your practice and whether I can make an appointment in your concession practice so that the costs are covered by insurance.
Thank you for your answer and kind regards,
Jadranka

Dear Sir/Madam!
Pain immediately after root canal treatment is relatively common, but it should subside later. Sensitivity to cold and heat in the tooth in question would be difficult to explain; a dead tooth (one that has undergone root canal treatment) has no ability to sense changes in temperature or osmotic pressure (such disturbances are characteristic of a vital hypersensitive tooth). The problem you describe can occur if vital tissue remains in one of the root canals. What is considered correct or incorrect in root canal therapy is a very broad concept and depends on many factors.
The price of root canal treatment in our practice (two visits) is EUR 180.
Have a nice day!
