Better get that taken care of ASAP. I know someone whose cavity ended up causing an infection in the jawbone.  :-\

I'm so sorry you are going through this, Richard.

I had a root canal a while back because I got a cavity under a crown and it didn't show up on x-ray until it got near the root and it really hurt a lot.

If you have to have a root canal, they give you shots in your jaw so the work doesn't hurt.  It's expensive, though.

Weird, I just saw this thread while I was asnoopin, and I misread it as "Do you like fisting yourself?"

It doesn't even look like "Do you like fisting yourself?"

If your mom doesn't have the money, don't endanger your health.  Spend the fire agate money.  It's the sensible thing to do.

My root canal was around $1000, but I had dental insurance and paid less than $200.  My root canal had to be drilled through the top of my crown, and it was on a back tooth, though.

I would guess a filling would be around $100 or so, depending on what it's made of and how large it needs to be.

i think its just a cavity. but unfortunatley i cant detach my head to find out and get a better look

yikes! $1,000 is ALOT of moneys. $100 sounds about well right for fillings, i hope thats all i need done.

actually i'm hoping a fucking miraculos healing takes place. to night, im praying to Zoroaster!  >:D

I've had two root canals. The last one got really infected from a leaked/faulty filling and I was literally screaming in pain.

I agree with the others that you need to go to a dentist as quick as possible.

Was that before or after you had the root canal, Binty?
