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

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!

Visitor asks:

Hello. I have a swollen cheek and pus is accumulating around the root of the upper canine. The nerve was removed six months ago, and now it has become inflamed. I assume the desired procedure is an apicoectomy. I would like to know the waiting time for an examination and the procedure as a self-paying patient, or how l

Visitor asks:

Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to know the most optimal solution and, of course, the price in the following case. I would need extraction of the roots of two teeth (both upper first molars), because the teeth have completely broken away and only their roots remain in the gum. I would then like to replace the missing teet

Dear Sir/Madam! Judging from what you have written, you need two implants with restorations (crowns). Price: -EUR 750 (implant) X 2 = EUR 1500 -EUR 420 (crown on implant) X 2 = EUR 840 The implant in the second-premolar position needs only a crown: -EUR 420 (crown on implant) X 1

Visitor asks:

Hello! I am considering a crown on apicoectomised tooth 45 (a post was placed during the apicoectomy a year and a half ago). In such a situation, is it advisable to invest in a single crown (because of the survival of the tooth under load), or is it standard dental practice to connect such a tooth to a neighbouring too

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.

Dear Sir/Madam! If the X-ray does not show bone changes around the root tip and the tooth causes no symptoms, it is certainly worth deciding on a crown. Connecting it to another tooth makes no sense. Given that you have a metal post and this is a tooth where translucency would no

Visitor asks:

How should I decide whether to choose root canal treatment for a tooth or have it extracted? My second molar is a dead tooth and has a fairly large filling that needs to be replaced with composite. Should I choose root canal treatment or have the tooth extracted and make a bridge in its place?

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.

Dear Sir/Madam! To make the decision I would need to see an X-ray. If the prognosis for root canal treatment were good, it would certainly be worth preserving the tooth. The size of the filling is not related to the prognosis. Have a nice day!

Visitor asks:

Hello. My daughter is 15 years old. When she was little, she fell on a front tooth. The tooth is healthy, but its shape and colour have changed, which is very bothersome. She has had a dental X-ray. I would like to know how much the repair would cost.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.

Dear Sir/Madam! The colour change suggests the possibility that the tooth is dead. From this fact it follows that root canal treatment is required if it was not already performed after the injury. The colour and shape are usually restored in such a case by making a crown and a de

Hello! I would like to know whether caries that I have had on a tooth for quite a long time can be treated. At the health centre they told me that the tooth needs to be removed, but I would like to ask whether there is still any possibility of treating the caries. Kind regards
