If you have a severe toothache then it's time to see the dentist as soon as possible you might need root canal treatment. What is root canal treatment? Root canal treatment is where the infected pulp is removed and the dentist will clean out the root canal and then tooth will be sealed with a temporary filling.

How much does root canal treatment cost in Shenzhen? 

Different clinics in Shenzhen charge differently for root canal treatment. At Shenzhen AKJ Stomatological Hospital our microscopic root canal treatment costs are approximately 2,000 RMB to 3,000 RMB per tooth. To put it simply the more teeth that require root canal treatment the more expensive the treatment. With the different treatment fees varying from clinic to clinic it's best to enquire before going ahead with treatment.

Extra Costs Not Included in Root Canal Treatment

1. Material Costs: disposable root canal files, imported anesthetic and rubber dams all incur extra costs.

2. Root Canal Re-treatment: root canal re-treatment is much more complex and will increase the costs for re-treatment cases.

3. After root canal treatment if there is a need for dental posts, dental crowns or inlays this will be charged separately and not included in the treatment price.

Therefore, the overall costs for root canal treatment will depend on individual cases. Some root canal treatments are relatively simple whereas other cases are complex. For an accurate treatment cost a dentist would have to do an oral examination and x-rays will need to be taken to see the degree of damage.
