Spent $692 and walked out with nerve damage when the anaesthetic wore off and finished up walking out of the dentist at 7.35pm after arriving for my first root canal at 8.30am. $900 lighter in the pocket and having experienced the most painful day of my life.This goes beyond "things that give you the shits" I am now a certified "ANTI DENTITE!!!"
I've got plates in my lower jaw from a break which have killed the roots in what we thought 3 teeth.
My dentist sent me to a root canal and diagnostic specialist in the city to find out the exact problems.
It was only two teeth that need root canals so the specialist gave me the treatment plan and costs.
My dentist is a Bupa plus member where as the SPECIALIST is just that but with deeper pockets. I acknowledge their profession though and what they had done to get there.
Same treatment different dentist is a whopping $2500 after benefits payed back.
Specialist $3000.
My dentist $ 538.00.
Find yourself a Bupa plus dentist member people.

Cheers mate, yeah it was crippling.
