Just got back from the dentist and they dropped a bombshell on me—apparently I need a root canal. Yay me, right? Anyway, the price they quoted seems kinda steep, but honestly I have no clue what's normal. If you've had one recently, mind sharing what you paid? Just wanna make sure I'm not funding my dentist's next vacation or something, lol.
Had one done about six months ago, and yeah, prices can vary a ton depending on the tooth location and your area. Mine ran around $900, but I've heard friends paying anywhere from $700 to $1,500. Honestly though, cheaper isn't always better—quality of materials and dentist experience matter a lot. If you're unsure, might be worth getting a quick second opinion elsewhere...could save you some cash or at least give peace of mind.
