for the sake of a bit of bling in your mouth that nobody will see just get the tooth removed!
i had root canal treatment a couple of years ago by a very nice and very pretty RAF dentist. lying there looking up into her amazing blue eyes was enough to make me want to go back for regular check ups and i didn't mind her poking about in my mouth......until the evil bitch inflicted the worst pain i have ever had in my life. root canal treatment ....never again.....i'd rather have my nuts put into a vice and tightened til i pass out than go through that again!

I had a Root Canal done a couple of years ago and a Porcelain cap fitted and it came to £175 . I wouldn`t go with the Gold fitting as it can actually cause Halitosis . The Porcelain felt weird at first but it has worn in now and feels just like the tooth that had cracked away . I got a Mountain Bike trail wrong and crunched my handsome mug into something hard and the tooth virtually squeeked then exploded . It wasn`t tender or anything for ages then one day I was brushing my choppers and felt a small amount of pain . I went in and they sorted the pain out and booked me in for a Root Canal and a fitting . To be honest I did not find the work to be unpleasant , some people have a bad one and some have a good one . I just lie back , knit my fingers together and relax . The work takes about 20 minutes , of which about 10 of that is actually spent in the gob I reckon . I had a really attractive Dental Nurse as well which made it better , the Dentist was ok herself but REALLY pregnant , I`m sure something pinched my face when she was leaning against me .

Despatches did a very interesting investigation into NHS dentists and showed that they try and pretend they cannot do root canal work on the NHS and then pob you off getting it done by them privately at a cost of £600+. That is rubbish. It's £204.
Check here for all the info. http://www.nhs.uk/chq/pages/1781.asp...categoryid=742

I had 2 fillings this morning. Again, this would have been in the region of £100! If you have poor teeth, then look at getting some decent dental insurance |

I have 2 crowns. One of them is over 20 years old. Its had to be pinned back on as the tooth underneath broke but the crown is still ok.

Had a crown and it cost me £60 though it didn't last as the tooth crumbled underneath it.
Root canal done in two teeth both times were more than fine and no problems Hated the extraction of the crumbled tooth that felt so wong and the filing of a decent tooth to work out my bridge for said extracted tooth bridge and falsie cost me £170 all in which wasn't too bad |
