it didnīt cost me as much maybe around 500 dlls... the whole root canal and crown thing... I had to go in several times as i had 3 roots instead of the normal 2and had to use many many anaesthesia as it took a while to kick in...
few months later I had to go again becaue i had a wisdom molar grow and it was bothering me, results were I had no space so they pulled it...
since that day I kept thinking why didnīt I had the other one pulled...
I had a filling that went bad also!! it was a really deep cavity i must of had it for a long time and now its infected, and I need a root canal... I was smiling in the mirror and I can see the tooth alittle bit so if they pulled my tooth out It would be noticable if I smile
Would you have rather had your root canal pulled though?
Im not worried about my teeth shifting alittle if its not noticable in the front and if it takes 15 years but still I dont know...
To have it pulled and get a spacer that will cost 600 prolly.. to have a root canal at the other dentist I talked to today they said I could get the root canal and then a filling over it instead of a crown and it will be about 600 or 700 all together. They havent looked at it yet though so im not sure what dentist to listen to.. the cheaper dentist is the one who filled my tooth that is not infected but he doesnt usually seem to be a bad dentist.
Im also afraid because i have to go on antibiotics and im afraid they wont beable to do the root canal until im done with the meds. My dad said they wont do it if its still infected at all because my mouth wont go numb when they give me the novacane(spelling). I dont know how true that is though.
