$2878.00 for root canal and crown to save lower back molar
$375 to have it yanked
I could fly to Thailand - get this done - stay at a hotel for a week drinking Mai Tai's on a beach - fly back for same price
tooth broke so I can't wait otherwise I would get a new passport
If you want the root canal and can wait until the start of next month, Delta Dental's "clear" plan sets fixed prices for these, and a year of the plan plus the treatment is still less than that. (You might also be able to cancel out after a month, idk).
I don't know if that's the best plan for that maneuver, it's just what I used in a similar situation.
