I have NO insurance. I got a check up last week, and it turned out that I need a root canal retreatment. The denist I went to, referred me to a couple of ENDODONTICS, but they want 950-1200 DOLLARS!! Is that the cheapest there is? Or is there a dentist school where graduates are practicing on people's teeth? I am in Florida. Thanks for all answers!

There are two dental schools in Florida, and as Dr. Albert says dental schools are a good place to get root canal therapy for reduced fees.
Hopefully you are near one of them.. One dental school is in Gainesville (the University of Florida dental school) and the other is in Ft. Lauderdale (Nova Southeastern).
If you live near either one of those, it's a good option. Good luck.

I hope this proves useful. I would definitely contact any school program that deals with dentistry (not dental hygienists, I mean the real thing--people getting their DDS behind their name). Also, if you are eligible, look into getting some medical assistance through the state. Good luck.

HELLO TAMMY,
DENTAL SCHOOLS ALSO TRAIN DENTAL SPECIALISTS SUCH AS ENDODONTISTS.
YOUR LEAST EXPENSIVE ENDO. RE-TREATMENT SHOULD BE SOUGHT THERE.
IN THE PRIVATE PRACTICE WORLD, AN INEXPENSIVE AND GOOD DENTIST ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.
