Case Description
I pain around the gum area of tooth #31. It is very sensative to the touch and Is too painful to brush around that area of the tooth. The pain comes and goes. Sometimes it is so painful that it hurts down into my jawl. The sensativity is pretty much constant, but sometimes for about 2 minutes it is ot painful at all. I do not have dental insurance and have been told by some dentists in my area that a root canal is need and will cost $1,200.00. Do I need this procedur and if so, can I get it done cheaper? Thank you, Janice

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
