😮in jacksonville florida all dental insurace pay very little or 0 in our case insurance did not even cover the first visit to see endodontist $500 upfront to tell us reteatment u need surgery $4500 and u have 50% chance infection might come back.other option is inplant which was double the cost so we got out of that endodontics office running.unfortunaly we got a poorly done job on root canal so that moler is coming out $400 with insurance. dentist are thieves they manipulate codes to rip u off.
I am desperate for some real dental advice!!! :( To anyone that can spare their time and expertise: I had a Root Canal 4 months ago on a “hot tooth” molar #30 that was so sensitive, I couldn’t even be numb the whole way. The procedure itself was traumatic and painful. About 5 weeks ago, the pain came back. I went to my dentist and they suggested it was the crown being too big, they adjusted and the pain came back days later. I went in again, and they adjusted the crown further, insisting it wasn’t an infection. Pain, again, came back days later. Finally they took a CT Scan that showed a canal was missed, so I had a retreatment done later that week. For the first 3 days, I felt absolutely great! Then the pain came back worse than ever in the middle of the night, so bad that I went into the ER for a stronger painkiller. I was desperate for a 2nd opinion, so I went to another dentist that morning and he prescribed me steroids for inflammation, and a narcotic to help me get through the next few nights. The pain significantly subsided over that week, and the “hot tooth” feeling has finally gone away, but my tooth is still sensitive to touch and I definitely can’t chew on it. Today was my 2-week post retreatment check-up, my endodontist at my regular dentist office took another CT Scan and sat with me to show what she looks for. She insists there is zero infection present (she prescribed me antibiotics just in case) and that the root canal looks successful. She said although it may be frustrating to hear, she really wants to save the tooth and to asked me to wait 2-more weeks to see if it “heals”, as retreatment can be more invasive than the initial root canal. At what point do I go for extraction? I’m able to get by the day with regular Advil at this point (before I needed tramadol to get through the night) but shouldn’t I be concerned the tooth is still sensitive to wiggle 2-weeks after treatment? I should add, the man that performed the root canal to begin with did NOT perform the retreatment. I absolutely refused to go to him being he has rough hands and zero sympathy with trying to get me properly numbed. I appreciate anyone that’s taken the time to read this today,
You might not get much luck getting an immediate answer on a dead video such as this one. But regardless, I'm sorry to hear that. How are you able to feel pain on a tooth that is practically dead?
@@soundoverdose3134 Yes! It’s still very painful to chew on or even touch. All my endodontist can keep telling me is to “wait and see” if it heals, but I know in my gut this isn’t normal. I’ve opted to pull the tooth out tomorrow and go for an implant later down the road.
@@nataliem7671 but if you decide to go with an implant that means you would need a bone graft from either yourself or a donor. Then that means you have to wait months for it to heal before it gets drilled into for the implant to thread itself in place. Are you sure you wanna add more complexity to solving this? I'm going in for a retreatment today and will see how it goes. Will be trying my best to avoid getting an implant
@@nataliem7671how are you feeling now? I could use some motivation. I cannot function properly for 2 weeks already. This constant pain feels like the ultimate punishment, I wake up just to take more painkillers and then go back to sleep because the pills are so strong I cannot even see well.
Just got told by dentist I need root canal retreatment due to infection at root. However, he said he can't do it and referred me to endodontists. My insurance isn't very good and I'm wondering what the cost will be.
Had this done just yesterday. It was about $2300. See if they can offer you a payment plan, but you gotta do this ASAP. I know the kind of pain you're in. Painkillers don't help. This should. Best of luck!
I just got quote for $2000 for tooth #14, after seeing you guys’ comments, I went ahead confirmed the appointment, I guess that’s the going rate nowadays
Instead of saying 'undiscovered root canals', say 'incompetent dentists'.
Its a very good video,explain step by step the process.
Very nice video on Root Canal Retreatment by an Endodontist!
I just got root canal treatment done on one of my tooth...yahoo hope it heals soon
i got mine done a decade ago….. i just replaced the crown this year to zirconia. i hope it lasts😭

I was so nervous when I got it done but after I was so happy he was amazing he got 2 teeth done in 1 hour
I was given choices,not suggestions and high dollar dollar estimates

Went to Colombia very professional and meticulous. I paid 295$. I would suggest taking a dental vacation. They know exactly what they’re doing.
