What we treat and how: pick a step
Healthy tooth
Step 1 of 5
The tooth is healthy: the pulp, with its nerves and blood vessels, lives inside, protected by enamel and dentin.
Decay reaches the pulp, and the infection can spread through the canals to the root tip and the bone. The inflammation is visible on an X-ray.
Under a microscope, the dentist opens access to the canals, removes the inflamed pulp and cleans each canal.
The cleaned canals are sealed with warm gutta-percha: this is three-dimensional filling.
The crown of the tooth is rebuilt with a filling or a crown to restore chewing function.
- 1
Enamel
The outer layer of the tooth crown.
- 2
Dentin
The tissue under the enamel, with microscopic tubules running through it.
- 3
Pulp
The soft tissue inside the tooth with the nerves and blood vessels.
- 4
Root canals
Narrow passages inside the roots that hold the pulp.
- 5
Root tip
The end of the root, where the canal opens into the jawbone.
- 1
Decay
Breakdown of the hard tooth tissue. Once it reaches the pulp, the pulp becomes inflamed.
- 2
Inflamed pulp
The pulp becomes inflamed because of infection. Inflammation does not always cause pain.
- 3
Inflammation at the root tip
Infection from the canals can spread to the jawbone around the root.
- 1
Access to the canals
The dentist makes a small opening in the crown to reach the pulp chamber and the canal openings.
- 2
Magnification under a microscope
The microscope magnifies the working area: the dentist sees the canal openings and the condition of the tissue.
- 3
Endodontic instrument
A fine instrument removes the inflamed pulp, then cleans and shapes the canal.
- 4
Cleaned canal
The canal is clean and ready to be filled.
- 1
Gutta-percha in the canals
The canals are sealed with warm gutta-percha.
- 2
Filled chamber
The pulp chamber is filled as well.
- 3
Root tip
The end of the root, which the canal filling must reach.
- 1
Filling or crown
The tooth is rebuilt with a filling or a crown to restore chewing function and protect it from chipping.
- 2
Filled canals
The canals stay filled, and the tooth is held in the jaw by its own root.
- 3
Jawbone
The jawbone surrounds the root of the tooth.

How we treat root canals
Dental microscope
The dentist works under magnification and sees the canal openings and the condition of the tissue.
Rubber dam
Isolating the tooth protects it from saliva and infection during treatment.
Three-dimensional filling
The canals are sealed with warm gutta-percha.
Diagnostics before treatment
A periapical X-ray or CT scan: the dentist assesses the number and shape of the canals.
When you need root canal treatment
- Toothache that gets worse at night or when biting down
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swelling or tenderness of the gum next to the tooth
- The tooth does not bother you, but an X-ray shows inflammation
Inflammation inside a tooth does not always cause pain. The dentist decides whether you need root canal treatment based on the exam and an X-ray.
How root canal treatment goes
The appointment takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the number of canals and the complexity of the case. In most cases, treatment is completed in one or two visits.

Initial treatment or retreatment: what is the difference
Initial treatment
The canals are being treated for the first time. The dentist removes the inflamed pulp, then cleans and seals each canal.
Retreatment (previously treated canals)
The canals were treated before, but the inflammation has come back. The dentist removes the old filling material, then cleans and fills the canals again, which is why this treatment costs more.
Frequently asked questions
Does root canal treatment hurt?
Treatment is done under local anesthesia. Once it wears off, mild discomfort for 1–2 days is possible — a normal reaction of the tissue to treatment.
How long does root canal treatment take?
Depending on the number of canals and the complexity of the case, the appointment takes 1 to 2 hours. In most cases, treatment is completed in one or two visits.
Why treat the canals if the tooth does not hurt?
Inflammation inside a tooth does not always cause pain, but without treatment the infection can spread to the jawbone and lead to tooth loss. Timely root canal treatment makes it possible to save the tooth.
What happens after root canal treatment?
After the canals are filled, the dentist rebuilds the crown of the tooth with a filling or a crown. The tooth can be used for chewing again.
Do I need a crown after root canal treatment?
After treatment, the tooth is rebuilt with a filling or a crown. The dentist decides which one is right in your case based on how much of the tooth is destroyed.
Why use a microscope for root canal treatment?
The microscope magnifies the working area and lights it well: the dentist sees the canal openings, their shape and the condition of the tissue. This helps find and treat every canal.
Can a tooth be saved if the canals were already treated before?
In many cases, yes: this is done with retreatment. The dentist assesses the condition of the canals and the tissue around the root from an X-ray or CT scan and explains whether the tooth can be saved.
Can root canals be treated during pregnancy?
Pregnancy is not a direct contraindication, but the timing of treatment should be agreed with the dentist.
How much does root canal treatment cost?
The cost depends on the number of canals and the complexity of the case. Per the price list, initial treatment costs from 5,500 UAH, and retreatment from 7,000 UAH. The dentist gives you the exact price after the exam and diagnostics.

Contraindications and limitations
- Acute infectious or viral illness: the dentist postpones the procedure until you have recovered.
- Some blood disorders: a prior consultation with your physician is needed.
- Pregnancy is not a direct contraindication, but the timing of treatment should be agreed with the dentist.
- A root destroyed below the gum line or a vertical crack: the tooth cannot be saved with root canal treatment, so the dentist will suggest other options, including an implant.
The dentist determines this during the consultation.
What to do after treatment
- Do not eat for a few hours while the anesthesia wears off, so you do not bite your cheek or lip.
- Tooth sensitivity for 1–3 days is a normal reaction of the tissue. If needed, the dentist will recommend a painkiller.
- For the first few days, avoid hard, very hot or very cold food on the treated tooth.
- Keep up your usual oral hygiene.
- Do not put off rebuilding the tooth with a filling or a crown: it protects the tooth from chipping.

When decay reaches the nerve: what endodontics is
Root canal treatment, or endodontics, is needed when decay or inflammation has reached the nerve of the tooth. This is how pulpitis develops, followed by periodontitis. A filling is no longer enough: the dentist removes the inflamed pulp, cleans the canals and seals them. Without this treatment, the infection spreads to the tissue around the root, and the tooth may be lost. At Eurozet, root canals are treated under a microscope so that even the finest branches are not missed.
What happens if pulpitis is left untreated
Without treatment, pulpitis turns into periodontitis — inflammation of the tissue around the root. A cyst or granuloma forms, a fistula may appear, and the pain becomes constant. At this stage the tooth is harder to save, and it often has to be extracted and replaced with an implant. Timely root canal treatment costs less and keeps your own tooth. If the pain suddenly goes away, that does not mean the inflammation is gone.
Why the price depends on the number of canals
The dentist cleans, treats and fills each canal separately, so the cost depends on how many there are. Initial treatment of a 1-canal tooth costs 5,500 UAH, a 3-canal tooth 8,500 UAH, and a 5-canal tooth 10,000 UAH. The dentist sees how many canals your tooth has and what shape they are on an X-ray or CT scan, and quotes the price before treatment starts. All items are on the Prices page.
