This is more of a monetary concern; the dentist was suggesting I get a root canal over a year ago but I kept going back with no problems, and there wasn't any pain. I lost my job, relocated and am just now getting around to seeing the dentist again. This time I do have pain and I'm taking 800 mg Ibuprofen for the pain, but they suggested I go to someone else for the root canal, and then back to them for the crown. Between the two I am out of pocket a full grand, and the insurance covers the rest. Then again I can get an extraction for like $50 out of pocket, which is tempting, but they claim since the extraction is on the bottom the top tooth will want to fall out of place as there's nothing to hold it up. I'm still considering the extraction, and I'll worry about that other tooth later - a grand is like 1 1/2 of my checks it takes 3 weeks to save that. Plus that is assuming that I do not pay my bills in the interim ... If I had more time to play with, I would.
