What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is a common dental procedure used to restore and preserve severely damaged or infected teeth. It is mainly used to treat conditions like pulpitis and periapical periodontitis.

Steps of Root Canal Treatment

X-ray Examination: Assess the extent of tooth decay and determine if root canal treatment is necessary. The dentist will explain the condition and treatment plan clearly.

Pulp Removal & Medication: After local anaesthesia, an access hole is drilled into the tooth to remove the infected tissue. Medication is applied to kill the nerve, and the tooth is sealed temporarily for 1–2 weeks before follow-up.

Canal Preparation: The seal is removed, and the root canal is thoroughly cleaned using instruments and disinfected repeatedly. A length measurement is taken, and the canal is medicated again for a week before the next review.

Canal Filling: The final step involves filling the cleaned canal with gutta-percha points, followed by another temporary seal. The condition is monitored in the next follow-up.

Root Canal Treatment Charges in Zhuhai: What Affects the Cost?

Tooth Position & Number of Root Canals: Front teeth are easier to treat and generally cost less. Molars are further back and have more canals (often 3–4), making treatment more complex and expensive.

Difficulty of Treatment: First-time root canal treatments are cheaper. If re-treatment is needed due to previous failure, the cost may double. Additional surgeries like apicoectomy will incur extra charges.

Type of Medical Institution:

Public hospitals: Transparent and standardised pricing, but long wait times.

Private clinics: More convenient, but typically 20–50% more expensive than public hospitals.

Chain dental clinics: Strong technical support, often offer package deals, but some may include hidden charges.

Comparison with Macau Root Canal Fees

Front Teeth (Single Canal): Around MOP 3,000 – simpler procedure with fewer canals.

Molars (Complex Multi-Canal Treatment): Around MOP 5,000+ – molars often require advanced tools like nickel-titanium files or microscope assistance, significantly increasing the cost.

Note: Macau fees typically do not include crowns. Crown types vary and can affect final cost. If a full ceramic crown is added, total expenses may exceed MOP 10,000, making it a considerable investment for Macau residents.
