    Hi,

    I went to a dentist in Dublin and he said I need root canal treatment which costs 430euro.

    I was shocked since in another EU countries you can make it by 160euro.

    Also I can't go to another country at the moment, so maybe someone knows in Dublin or around a cheap dentist?

    Since the root canal treatment takes 3 appointments, wouldn't be a good idea make the first one here, and the other 2 ones when I can go to my Country?

    A 160 euro root canal will not take 3 visits, it will be all crammed into a single hour, with all the issues that entails. With root canal and most other dental treatment you get what you pay for and quick and cheap is usually followed by a slow and expensive retreatment.

    Oh right my bad.....

    Its going to be more than that here. Usually its works out around 400/500/600 for front tooth/premolar/molar more for a endodontist but not much.

    But any chance to make just the first treatment here, wait 2 months, and make the 2 other root canal treatments for the same tooth in another country, since I'm paying all private?

    Yes that is possible, but you will take a bit of a risk as to if you will stay pain free for the 2 months. Remember if it fails, both dentists will probably say it was the other one who didn't do things right. But the short answer to your question is yes, most dentists will do what is called pulp extirpation/first stage root canal/primary endodontics to get you out of pain and give you time to get the root canal done.
