Endodontic Charges what?? Wtf man!!

Got a root canal last year and a crown.

It didn’t work out for me - gave me dizziness and ear ache. I didn’t know crown was causing it and and after many months of living with it, tooth flared up also so visited the dentist. She said it’s my crown possibly and took it off to see if it settles.

Well it did settle.

As per the plan, went again to get the root canal-ed tooth pulled and instead of pulling she said she sees some extra nerve she didn’t see at last exam/X-ray and I should go see a endodontic to see if they can see the fourth root for sure with a microscopic equipment and possibly save my tooth.

If endodontic ends up saving I get another crown.

But the fuken endodontic charges apparently $317 just to see me without treatment. If they end up doing another root canal on it I’m looking at $2100. Is that normal charges for them? Got no dental insurance. Fuk

Seems on the high side. They could tell you were no test crew and are charging you double.

This chit definitely sucks

I had made an appointment and went cuz chit I didn’t want it to get any worse.

The specialist found two of the broken drill bits in two of my three canals and also he said the dentist who did it the first time didn’t go deep enough.

He did have a lot more machines and microscopes to look at it all closely.

Took about an hour and got one of the three canals cleared and the broken bit out the other. another visit pretty soon.

Fuken sucks but hopefully it’ll fix my issues

Apparently 10% of the root canals end up failing. Pretty normal. Even the broken drill bits are apparently normal :-/
