Dentists should let their patients know: why is nerve pumping so expensive?
Don't look at a tooth small, but the cost of treatment is not low, believe that this is the first feeling after many people have finished reading the teeth. Root canal treatment, commonly known as "tooth extraction nerve", is the most commonly used method in oral disease treatment. The treatment cost varies from hundreds to thousands of yuan. Many people wonder "why do I have more expensive teeth if I do root canal treatment?".
Teeth, not the solid structure that people think, on the contrary, have hollow structures such as pulp chamber and root canal, so as to accommodate pulp, namely tooth nerve, and root canal treatment is a treatment process for pulp and root tip lesions.
When your teeth are suffering from severe pain due to deep cavities and other dental diseases, it is likely that your teeth are no longer healthy and the pulp is dead, then root canal treatment is required.
According to the difficulty of tooth treatment, root canal number to charge!
The treatment procedure of root canal therapy is complex and fine. It is not only time-consuming but also laborious for dentists to operate, and it is not completed once. Usually, from the initial diagnosis to the end of treatment, the second visit only takes 2-3 times.
The cost of treatment is closely related to the following factors:
First, root canal treatment is divided into three categories: anterior teeth, premolars and molars.
The price of anterior teeth treatment is the lowest because of its simplicity. The first molars are the second. Because the root is complex and the operation is not convenient, the price is the most expensive.
The charge of root canal treatment in public hospitals is based on the number of root canals treated in the teeth. The more the root canal, the higher the charge.
Compared with the single root canal or two root canals of the anterior teeth and the premolar, there are usually 3 to 4 canals of the molars, and even more. Therefore, the charge for root canal treatment of molar naturally covers the cost of treating 3-4 teeth nerves, so it is more expensive.
In addition, if the tooth has been treated with root canal before, but the failure to treat it completely causes the tooth to be inflamed again, the cost of the second root canal treatment is more expensive than the first one, mainly because the second treatment is more difficult. The first time, the filling material in the first root canal should be removed and then the root canal treatment is re performed. Therefore, it involves two parts of the cost.
So, there is an old saying, "small holes do not mend, big holes suffer." That's what we're talking about. It doesn't cost a few dollars to mend the same hole, but if the cavities are getting a nerve, you may have to face the cost of thousands of dollars.
