Root Canal / Dental Insurance / Thoughts

[AeWingnut]

I have had 6 root canals. If you go to a specialist it will be quick and easy. I agree the anticipation of pain is the real problem. Relax. I think it depends on which tooth on how soon you get over it. I've had them be pain free and I've had one that hurt for exactly 5 days and the next day it was completely pain free. You are lucky to get pain meds. My dentist won't do it. Says that tylenl is enough. Glad to see they aren't all sadists.

it is very important to take the antibiotics gotta calm that nerve down.

as far as the price.. that is better than my insurance. You typically have to pay half. The price is about right too. It would be about $1,000 without the root canal.

The problem with geting teeth pulled is it loosens up the ones next to the pulled tooth. You only have some many teeth try and take care of them.

btw.. if you don't take care of the new cap it can go bad below the gum line. Be sure and floss. I would hate for you to have to do it all over.


btw

the reason everything costs so much is because of FDR
compaies had to offer benefits because they couldn't pay people any more... when you aren't paying the bill you don't care how much it costs and the costs went up
