Frequently asked questions
Why is a root canal expensive?
Complexity, specialized equipment, and the need for anesthesia. Molars are harder to treat, costing more.
Does insurance cover root canals?
Typically 50-80% after deductible, but coverage varies. Check your plan's annual maximum.
Can I avoid a root canal?
Good oral hygiene prevents decay. If you need one, delaying treatment worsens infection and raises costs.
