Частые вопросы

Is root canal treatment painful?
Modern root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Local anesthesia eliminates pain during the procedure. Some mild soreness for 1-3 days after is normal.
How long does a root-canaled tooth last?
With proper restoration (usually a crown) and good oral hygiene, root-canaled teeth can last a lifetime. The 10-year survival rate is 85-90% with crown placement.
Do I need a crown after root canal?
Usually yes for back teeth (molars/premolars) as they become brittle. Front teeth may only need a filling if sufficient tooth structure remains. Your dentist will advise.
Can an infected tooth be saved?
Often yes. Even teeth with abscesses can frequently be saved with root canal treatment. The infection is removed, the canal disinfected and sealed. Extraction is the last resort.
How much does root canal treatment in China cost compared to my home country?
In China, anterior root canal treatment typically starts from about $150, premolar root canal from $200, and molar root canal treatment from $300-$450, versus $800-$1,500+ in many Western countries. Even including a crown afterward, root canal treatment China cost is often 60-70% lower overall.
