Chillax Milo - take it all one step at a time - may not be as bad as you think.

I've had a number of root canals done - didn't need a specialist though and they weren't as bad as they're made out to be - a couple of treatments of about 30 mins each.

Better than losing your teeth, then later you can have crowns, start saving

Same goes for me, don't know why you would need a specialist, but I'm no expert. I just know it took a lot longer to find the money than to have it done

I've had my first, and hopefully my last one done recently. I didn't go to a specialist, just a regular dentist.
I've heard of people paying various prices, so it may be a good idea to check around Milo. It does take a few visits and $$$, but in the end, it's better than losing the tooth.

I got all my teeth out before I was 25,now late 60's,never regretted getting them all out,
I remember going to the dentist and telling him to take them all out,he protested strongly,he could see $$$$ signs flashing if I adhered to his idea,
I said to him well if you don't do it I will find someone who will,He relented and did the job.

I had a root canal and then crown about 2 years ago ..... never looked back ....... yes, it does cost a bit of money but thank God our extra cover on medical benefits covered it at that time. It was a rather lengthy process but well worth it and I would not hesitate to go that path again if necessary, but hopefully wont need to. Like many of our generation, I was a victim of the 50's a dental procedures and the dental hospitals and ended with a major dentist phobia as an adult, too scared to get problems seen to and lived to regret it. If you have problems, don't hesitate to get it seen to ..... I also had further problems and ended with gum disease which required a full day specialist treatment - mainly due to smoking. Needless to say, from that day forward, I never had another cigarette and I have been told I am the typical reformed smoker!
I know this original post is six months old or thereabout, so probably no longer relevant to that post, but relevant in in respect of dental health in general.
Ok - off my soap box now .......

I had that 50's dental treatment as well....bloody brutal and leaves a phobia about dentists. One good thing about back then was that it was pretty cheap to get a tooth drilled or pulled....no fancy stuff then.
Anyway, got them all ripped out at 58 and reckon I should have done that when 21.
have been having a bit of a tooth latley
