3 visits needed for a root canal, costs very high

jayjay2010

So I’m just out of the dentist for my second root canal visit, and at the very end I was told I’ll need a 3rd visit as the cavity was bigger than they thought.

Costing upwards of €800+ for one tooth.

Did this sound right or? I was never told that it would go over 2 visits so I am a bit annoyed

Sounds right I paid €900 about 12 years ago but that did include the a cap for the tooth also.

Surely in 12 years technology would have advanced slightly?!

Anyways, good to know. At least I don’t feel ripped off. Probably should have just taken the tooth out! Thanks a mil!

Technology has advanced, but evolution has stalled.

I got 2 root canals redone 2 years ago and it cost me about 900 a tooth.

My root canal cost about that, maybe 850e 5 years ago

Thank you all for the replies. So I guess €800 is in the normal pricing range.

Braces next! I was quoted €3,500 so I guess I better round it to €5000 ha
