Dentists in Hungary – Further Information

Organizations

The Hungarian Medical Chamber which is made up of dentists and physicians is the central organization to which all Hungarian dentist's must belong (currently about 5000 dentists in practice). The chamber supervises its members deciding on suitability to practice and proper ethical conduct.

Dental Ethics

The Medical Chamber's ethical standards are enforced upon its members. Ethical committees meet at both local and national level: the make up of these committees is dependent on the nature of the breach of practice being investigated. The Council of European Dentists' code of ethics also applies to Hungarian dentists.

Complaints

Ethical complaints are dealt with by the Medical Chamber. All other complaints will typically be sent first to the provider of the treatment, if resolution of the problem fails then a complaint may be addressed to the National Public Health & Medical Officers Service. Finally, complaints may be addressed through the common courts.

Continuing education

Hungary has a system of mandatory continuing education. The system allows dentists to aggregate points from a number of training courses over a 5 year period up to the full requirement of 250 points. In practice this represents around 250 hours of additional training for dentists in each 5 year period.

Data Protection

Hungary complies with EU regulations on data protection. Adherence is monitored by an independent ombudsman in accordance with The Health Data Processing Act of 1997. This act guarantees an individuals access to their medical records in a timely fashion as well as the protection of data by medical practicioners.

Root Canal Treatment
Treatment for infection within the tooth

You can browse a list of clinics that provide root canal treatment here on RevaHealth.com. If you need any help deciding which clinic to choose, just ask us for help.

To prevent or reverse infection of badly damaged and decayed teeth, it may be necessary to carry out a root canal treatment. Though possessed of a fearsome reputation, the procedure is now well understood and produces excellent long lasting results with minimal discomfort.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Tiny canals in your tooth become infected and can cause quite severe pain. The purpose of a root canal is to save a badly infected tooth. If not performed extraction of the tooth is commonly required. The infected canals are cleared then filled. It is quite common for the tooth to require a crown or a filling.

You might need a root canal if one or more of your teeth have become infected and there is severe damage to the pulp of your tooth.

Things to look out for include:

• Although simple root canals can be performed by a general dentist, more complex root canals (such as those on your rear teeth) may require a specialised Endodontist.
• Commonly a root canal treatment will require a crown as well. Be aware of this potential additional cost
• Hugh advances in root canals have been made over the last decade,  so make sure your dentist is up to date

What is the procedure like?

The tooth has small canals filled with what is known as pulp: these reach right down into its root. The tooth’s canals may become infected and the pulp within them is first removed in a procedure referred to as a pulpotomy. The canals are then temporarily filled with an alkaline paste and the tooth is left to settle during which time the paste thoroughly disinfects the tooth.

A second appointment about a week afterwards is necessary to complete the procedure. The pulpotomy should remove any discomfort related to infection within the tooth. In the follow up the temporary paste is removed. The canals are filled with an inert material and the tooth should be given a protective crown to protect the work. The procedure is spread over two or more dental visits.

What affects the price?

• The dentist selected
• If a specialized endodontic is required
• The position on of the tooth
• The type of crown required (if any)
