Root canal treatment in Vietnam
Root canal treatment (điều trị tủy) saves a tooth whose nerve is infected or inflamed. Each clinic SmileJet lists in Vietnam publishes its own price by tooth.
What is a root canal?
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, cleans the canals and seals them, so the tooth can be kept instead of extracted.
Prices rise from front teeth to premolars to molars, because back teeth usually have more canals. Your dentist confirms the plan after an X-ray.
