Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam,
In 2008 I had treatment of the upper left first molar and since then I have had an open, non-vital tooth. Because I am truly very afraid of the dentist, I have not been back to a dentist since then. Now a kind of purulent fluid that smells very bad is draining from the tooth and it is very unpleasant. The tooth does not hurt. I would now very much like to solve this problem and face my fear, so I kindly ask you to describe the procedure for my problem and the price if I had it treated privately.
Thank you very much in advance for your answer.
Kind regards, Tjaša

Dear Sir/Madam!
The tooth has been open for a relatively long time, so the prognosis for treatment is relatively poor. Before treatment, an X-ray should be taken, which would provide at least an approximate assessment of the possible success of treatment. If you decided on treatment, the price is as follows:
50 Eur (one root-canal treatment session). At least three sessions would be needed. Given the information provided, it would be difficult to offer you a guarantee for the treatment.
Have a nice day!
