I recently found out that I need to do root canal, and price might kill me before the tooth decay does.
It hurts me to shell out 2500 pln for re-treatment of my molar tooth (lower jaw, nr 6)
I am considering going 1 hour on a train away from Warsaw to do dentistry stuff in some under small town, which might me around or under 50.000 inhabitants.
Is it crazy idea?
How much can I save?
Is it realistic to find something for 1500 pln, for the same treatment?

I mean you surely can find someone even in Warsaw for less than 2500. I would never pay 2500 for a re-treatment
Cheaper specific place is way more important than general location. If it’s really that bad in Warsaw just come to Lublin for a lot of choice and much better prices.
Also maybe prices take shot up lately but I got an implant for that price lol
If it’s just root canal treatment, you can easily find it for like 1500pln, but re-treatments can get more expensive if there are some complications.
Also depends on how much of your tooth is left. If it needs a dental crown, it will be expensive. Even more so than 2500
The problem with living in one place and doing dental work in another, especially complicated and multivisit one, like root canal is that the process tend to get messy and might require sudden, unplanned visits. It’s hard to manage if you need to travel for couple of hours to get it taken care of.
Also, regarding the price check the medical university dental clinic.

Small towns have lower prices but also often not the best doctors as well. But in general I would do the same, find a cabinet in closer mid-size town, easy accessible and the job there.
Tomorrow I will ask my doctors how much this may cost in Poznan, just to compare.
Keep in mind that the odds of finding an English-speaking dentist are much lower in smaller towns
Awident in Lubartow, highly recommend, near lublin
Wtf are those prices?! I had one done today and it cost me 400 for 2 sessions (one tooth). I know that bigger towns are usually more expensiv but that’s just criminal. It’s like when my uncle who had the same car as me went to a mechanic in Warsaw and paid 2 thousand more then I did a year later for the same fix.
If you don’t want to spend money on a dentist go to students. They treat patients and it’s way cheaper. Everything is done under supervision of specialists. The only thing they don’t do there is implants.
I’ve recently done a root canal under a microscope because my roots go into my sinus and they are pretty bent inwards too for some reason and it would have been around 1700pln I think if I haven’t gotten a family discount.
The city/town is 50.000 inhabitants close to silesia.
In some cases its the same dentist from big city, who has his remote office in smaller towns.
It is actually not a crazy idea. People from smaller towns don’t necessarily go to big cities to have their teeth done.
