Remember back in January, when I had to have the emergency work done on one of my teeth? Well, the dentist told me then that it was only temporary, and that eventually I'd need a root canal.
It's eventually. The toothache started Tuesday, and actually kept me awake last night. I saw the dentist this morning. Antibiotics and painkillers. Next week I have the root canal - Tuesday, $750, plus $200 for the post. Then back in a week or so for the crown, at $1250!!! Add a cleaning and full exam, and it comes to $2500!!
No, I don't have insurance, damnit. I haven't had for over two years. I'm just glad I'm working.
My other option is to just have him pull the tooth - $250. I'm getting very tempted.
