Never had one, don't know what to expect during the procedure and after. He said my crown would take 2 weeks to complete and I would be fitted with a temporary crown. Anyone out their been thru a root canal?
Ok now this part. I asked to see what it would cost. She runs the sheet and it is going to cost $1,882, and I am responsible for $882 of it. Now I realize that I only pay a few dollars a week for my Dental Insurance but come on can't you help me out a little more then that? I would be more then happy to pay 25% but this seems excessive. Am I off base?

The cost is right...the rest depends on your insurance. The root canal is "uncomfortable", IMO, but not real painful. Crowns are easy...
