I had a root canal on my back molar 1.5 years ago. If I had to do it again, I would not do it. I would have had the stupid thing pulled from my mouth. I had to go to an endodentist, he found the tooth VERY difficult to work on, and I was to go back to my dentist of 20 plus years for the crown. The root canal was $840, the crown was to be another $1000. Nearly $2000 for my back molar? WHAT???

Instead? I called around and heard a much nicer option. I simply had it filled. The filling will probably last me 10 years. I think the appointment and filling was $135 or so. In 10 years I will have it pulled. I wish to goodness I had never spent the $840. And thank goodness I balked at the crown price.

I don't go to the dentist anymore. He should have told me my options- including the low price ones!
