Aftercare and cost
After treatment, and what it costs
The tooth may be tender for the first week or two. Bad pain or swelling isn’t normal, so call us if that happens. Back teeth usually need a crown afterward, because a tooth without its pulp is more likely to crack under chewing. Our fees follow the Ontario Dental Association fee guide, and the cost depends on which tooth it is and how many canals it has. We go over it with you before we start, and we can send a pre-treatment estimate to your insurer. The Canadian Dental Care Plan covers root canal treatment for eligible patients, though a crown under CDCP needs approval in advance. See costs, insurance and CDCP for payment options.
