Root canal treatment to save your tooth
A root canal becomes necessary when the pulp (tooth nerve) becomes infected by bacteria through cavities or fractures.
The dentist may choose to extract the tooth or perform a root canal. Preserving natural teeth is recommended for function and aesthetics.
Treatment costs between 4,000–6,000 NOK depending on tooth type. A crown after root canal costs a total of 10,000–12,000 NOK.
Two to three days of mild pain is normal. Persistent discomfort may indicate improper filling height or remaining infection.
Undetected canals, poor hygiene, or tooth fracture can allow reinfection.
Research indicates that 88-98% of root canals are successful over approximately ten years.
Local anesthesia prevents sensation during treatment. Over-the-counter pain relief manages post-procedure discomfort.
