Long story short, I need another root canal, actually I need two!

Anyway, what made me put off having the first one done is the price! $868.00 of which they want up front!

I broke another molar last night, and this one can't wait. I have Federal BC/BS, but they don't cover root canals.

So far, in pricing through different dental offices I've been quoted;

$868.00
$695.00
$435.00

Quite a range in prices, huh?

Oh...and ofcourse the dentist with the lowest price has a waiting list that goes well into the end of September! :mad:

Looks like there are others in the same boat I am!

I can sympathize. I was complaining about the varying price of crowns last week:eek: . It is something you have to get done, and they seem to charge whatever they want. Dental insurance IS pitiful. Ugh! Good luck!
