Case Description
Hi,
I need a cost estimation for a root canal on one of the molars on the bottom right. My last X-ray of that tooth was in summer last year and was then advised to do a root canal, but somehow I never got around to do that. The tooth as such is not giving any trouble, but I have noticed that it has started oozing puss sometimes. Now I really want to do a root canal but with just a dental plan and no dental insurance I am really scared that it will make a HUGE hole in my wallet (I am still a student paying my way through college). I am from Tucson, AZ. If anyone can suggest a good and not so expensive dentist in this are, I would be really grateful.
Thanks, -D.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
