'So, you have a bad toothache? Your teeth are rotting down there and giving you a hard time? Added to that, the fear of your dentist's bill is stopping you from walking into his office. Now, that's a bad situation. Don't worry about it anymore. Simply book some cheap airline tickets and head out to India to finish up with your root canal, top it with a bright crown, add in some cosmetic dental procedures, some teeth whitening procedures and even a free vacation to it. And all this costs just 30% of what it would cost you in the US. And you get a free vacation in an exotic country, now, who can argue with that?
Most people walk in to the dentist's office with toothache and are often advised to take up a root canal procedure which costs around $350-$ 600 for a front tooth, which usually has one canal, to $500-$860 for a back molar, which can have three or more canals. An endodontist may charge up to 50% more than the standard rate. The crown would cost anywhere between $800 and $1500. In India, the same procedure costs around $35-$75 dollars depending upon the dentist's specialization. And the crown would cost around $50-$125. It's that affordable. Plus, most dentists' have the skill and the expertise of any good American dentist. The facilities are also truly world-class. And for the cost of a root canal treatment in the US, you can get a lot more done and have a great time, too. Reason why, many patients from US and UK are turning to countries like Singapore, Philippines, India and Thailand.
Root canal treatment is usually performed to surgically remove the decaying pulp of the teeth or the root canal. The canals are then filled and the tooth is fitted with crown. The treatment requires more than one visit to the dentist's office. First, the dentist sedates the area around the infected tooth. Then, the tooth is drilled to reach the pulp. The infected pulp is removed; the root canal is cleaned before filling and capping the tooth. The crown is placed after a month after checking for infection in the tooth.
Many qualified endodontist's in countries like India, Singapore and Thailand have experience working in countries like UK and they bring their hands-on skill and expertise to the dental chair. So, patients are given world-class treatment at really affordable costs in these Asian countries.
