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:
Hello,
A large lump developed above my upper left first molar. After I immediately visited the dentist, he opened the tooth and then partially closed it with a silicone filling so that the pus could drain. After one day the lump has not become smaller, and the neighbouring second molar, with which I have never had any problems and which only has a small filling, has also become tender to pressure. Should I be concerned that the infection has spread to the second molar as well?
Since I read online that treatment of the tooth is much more successful, I would also like to know approximately how much endodontic treatment with a microscope and laser costs.
Regards
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
The problem cannot spread to the neighbouring tooth. The pain reflects inflammation of the periodontal tissues around the first molar. Root canal treatment of the tooth costs EUR 180.
Have a nice day!
