Sorry... really bad subject... am not doing so "hot".... so yesterday I had teeth cleaned.. and a filling that came out replaced - no numbing... and dentist was very rough....with my tooth...

seems like... he lately has been pushing for more and more stuff.. that generates money for his office..

and.. now... my jaw hurts so bad.. from the TMJ.... is there any help???

and I know I need a root canal... since the nerve is all upset...
and... money is dedfinetly an issue....1,000 for a root canal... is that "normal"??????

A friend of mine just got a quote of 1200 for hers. Dentists sure are expensive!

My dentist gives me breaks in between any work I need done on my teeth due to my TMJ - and so far it has worked out fine as long as the procedure does not take more than an hour to perform.

I would say that a $1-k is a honest amount for a root canal - I think the last one my sister had done was $850 - from beginning to end.
