Had one today. My first one (and hopefully my last). Cost me $1300. And I have to go back in a month to get a crown put on the tooth -another $1200. Freaking awesome. $2500 on one tooth in a one month span.

Overall my dental health is very good. I have straight teeth and have only had 3 cavities (I'm 32 years old). Well, about a month ago I was chewing gum, and it pulled out half of one of my fillings. I always brush and floss, and I've been really busy with work lately- and like I said, I've never really had dental issues- so I neglected it. Big mistake. On Saturday that tooth was causing me pain like I've never felt before. Sure enough- root canal.

That first shot of novocain into that area by the bad tooth was freaking awful.

Take care of your teeth boys and girls. What a miserable, expensive ordeal.
