Root canals have a bad reputation.

When a dentist says “you need a root canal”, the most common response from a patient is :(

We searched the internet to find out why people feel negatively about root canals:

1. 1. Root canal costs are high, ranging from $532-$1,240 (depending on your tooth)
   2. Patients have negative experiences ( other root canal costs):

• • • • root canal pain: before, during and after
      • root canal cost ended up being higher than quoted = Financial Pain!
      • root canal dangers:
        • “root canal tooth broke in half” AND/OR
        • “recurring tooth abscess after root canal”

No matter where you live, this blog post will guide you to reduce your financial root canal costs AND eliminate your "emotional root canal costs” ( negative experiences).

A wisdom tooth extraction cost ranges from $160 to $489 depending on how impacted your wisdom tooth is. However, your wisdom teeth surgery cost in TOTAL depends on 3 factors:

• number of wisdom teeth being removed
• the position of the wisdom teeth in the jaw which determines the extent of surgery needed to get the wisdom teeth pulled out
• are you doing it awake or with sedation or asleep?
  - there is an additional cost for sedation and sleep dentistry
  - the higher the level of sedation the higher the cost

Most commonly, wisdom teeth surgery cost is about $1,800, it involves the extraction of 4 wisdom teeth while asleep.

WARNING:

CONSIDER ALL THE WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL COSTS BEFORE DOING THE SURGERY:

Do you suffer from dental anxiety? Dentist fear is very common, you are not alone! 

AND/OR

Are you considering a dental procedure that scares you like a root canal or wisdom tooth removal?

AND/OR

Is your child in need of dental work and you are concerned that your little one will not tolerate the procedure well?

Most people trying to save on dental costs go about it the wrong way. They look for a “deal”, which lands them in a “business dentist office” as opposed to a “doctor dentist office”. They end up spending more on dental costs.

No matter who your dentist is, you can significantly reduce your dental costs by asking 3 simple questions when a dentist recommends a procedure:

1. What happens if I do nothing?
2. What are the costs and risks of the dental procedure?
3. Are there simpler, safer options?

It will help you avoid unnecessary dental work: the best way to reduce dental costs.
