One of my back teeth is more filling than tooth and my dentist told me that it's only a patch up till i get a root canal or get it yanked. Anyway the "patch up" has lasted almost 18months but i've had a tooth ache that's kept me up a couple of nights in a row.So today i ventured off to Kalgoorlie from Lienster (380 odd kays each way) get to the dentist and they tell me i have two options, yank it or canal it.They tell me the root canal is aprox $380 and a crown would be extra. So i go ahead with the canal only to find out half way through that the $380 is more of a down payment than a fix, apparently there are three of fours stages to a root canal that normally cost between $1100 and $1250 in total, i then find out that a crown is going to cost another $1250. Of course by this stage we are too far gone to stop so stage one of the root canal is done. $2500 for 1 tooth??? My tooth is now more painful than it was before!!! As soon as i get home to my regular dentist in going for the $150 yank and run special and getting rid of the bloody thing.Anyway my point is, dentist's suck, toothaches suck, 8 hour round trips to the dentist really really suck and having a tooth thats so sore i can't have a beer is enough to make me want to top myself [end rant] Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54294-root-canals/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
