    Hi

    I'm trying to shop around and find the cheapest endodontist i can find. My own dentist says i should contact an endodontist to have a root canal done and while i know the work will be expensive i just want to find the cheapest guy to do it!

    I'm in the midlands and would be willing to travel within reason nationwide... has anyone any recommendations???

    Kassie not always the best option tbh. A general dentist can do it if needs be but a specialist is best.

    I've had 2 RCs done over the last few years, my most recent only a couple of months ago.

    the most recent one turned out to be pretty complex, tbh a general dentist would have struggled with it and it probably would have failed.

    Get a specialist!

    Yes.. but some general dentists also do RCs.

    I can recommend you the guy I used but he is Dublin based but a specialist.

    I had my root canal\crown done by an Endodontist in Castlerea not sure if you are near enough to there to travel. I can highly recommend him.

    Try someone who has done a 3 yr program in endo. That is not in Castlereagh. Limerick is the nearest.
