Root Canal Treatment in Albania
Root Canal Treatment for Children
It is important to note that children tend to be more prone to tooth decay, as they usually do not have good oral hygiene. Therefore, at some point, it is possible that the child may need to have a root canal treatment to protect the integrity of one or more teeth. Root canal treatment in children is a process that will avoid the extraction of both primary and permanent teeth.
It is extremely important that parents when noticing that their child feels severe pain when chewing food, take him/her to the dentist quickly, as this will prevent the pain and suffering when eating from disappearing quickly and effectively.
In order to perform the root canal treatment, the dentist must make sure that, although the tooth is damaged, it can recover, otherwise, the extraction of the damaged piece will be unavoidable.
Although many times the presence of dental decay and damage to the pulp tissue can be very painful for the child, there are other times when children are completely asymptomatic. And there in lies the importance of parents taking their child to the dentist periodically.

FAQs about Root Canal Treatment in Albania
Root canal treatment is a procedure used to treat infection or damage to the pulp (soft tissue) inside your tooth. The treatment involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.
Root canal treatment is necessary when the pulp of your tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep cavities, cracks, or trauma. If left untreated, the infection can spread and lead to severe pain or tooth loss.
Common symptoms include severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around the gums, a pimple-like bump on the gums, or discomfort when chewing or touching the tooth.
Root canal treatment is generally not painful because local anesthesia is used to numb the area. Most patients report that the procedure is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Afterward, some mild discomfort may occur, but it is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
Root canal treatment usually takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the case. In some situations, the procedure may require more than one visit, especially if the infection is extensive.
During root canal treatment, we first numb the area around the tooth. We then create a small opening in the tooth to remove the infected pulp. After cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, we fill and seal the tooth. In most cases, a crown is placed on the tooth to restore its structure.
After the procedure, it’s important to avoid chewing on the treated tooth until a permanent crown is placed. Continue practicing good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing, and attend any follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
With proper care, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can last many years. Most root canal-treated teeth require a crown to restore strength and functionality, which further extends the life of the tooth.
The cost of root canal treatment can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and the tooth being treated. We offer affordable pricing and will provide a detailed estimate during your consultation to ensure you fully understand the cost before proceeding.
