Our topic in the next weeks is root canal treatment and its risks! (5/10)
In the last report (4/10) you read that the majority of complications resulting from root treatment can be prevented by working carefully and allowing for adequate hygiene and planning in enough time.
Time is money – so good-quality root treatment of course costs more than any run-of-the-mill procedure.
However, taking the follow-up costs and problems into account (pain, sick leave, lying in bed sick) as a result of poorly performed root treatment, then calculating in another extra €1000 is still worth it! Depending on where you get the work done, dentists can charge from €100/root canal up to €1000/root canal. So the costs of treating a three-canal molar can range from €500-3000, about the cost of a dental implant!
So investing in good root treatment is definitely worth it, it ends up costing you less in the wrong run – and hurts less too!
