I recently had a root-canal done on tooth #31 (a molar). The insurance is covering the root-canal process but not the crown. I had to get the root-canal, I had no choice. How long can I go without getting the crown? The crown is very expensive and my insurance is maxed out for the year. The dentist recommended no more than 2 months. Can I push this longer? My insurance will cover the process until after October 1, 2009 (7 months from now).

My root canal cost 718 dollars. I had that done a few weeks ago. I still have to get a post and crown though which will cost me like 1300 dollars!! Can I wait awhile before taking that step or should I do it soon. The dentist said it could wait til I had the money…but he didn’t specify how long I could wait.

Every time i have a sinus infection, and I have drainage or dripping, I get a tooth infection one that is broken, it actually feels like i am having a heart attack. I take clindramycin 300mg, Will this work? and why does it feel like i’m having a heart attack every time i get this?

Is it true that when you have a tooth infection where it has reached the the bone…after doing a root canal the infection can still be on the bone and it is up to your immune system and antibiotics to get rid of it? I thought the root canal would of gotten rid of the infection on the bone too? How does that work? HELP!

So i have a root canal tomorrow (23rd) but the thing is my insurance ends on the 31st of this month. Any way that i can still get the crown in time?

im getting a root canal and veneers on the same tooth, but i was wondering if i get my root canal on a thursday, when do you think my mouth would be ready for the veneers.

I recently had a root canal and was told I would have to wait three weeks before getting things started with the crown. In the meantime while waiting for the first root canal to heal, I was told I would need a second root canal. Can I get things started with the first crown or should I wait until the second root canal heals and do both crown fittings at the same time?

I got a root canal last week and its almost all healed. The dentist just put putty over top of it. Do I need to go get my temporary crown as soon as possible or can I wait a while? I ask because its $670 and they want it all at once.

I have had one for about two and a half years now, and I have my surgery scheduled for three weeks from now. But I’ve been reading up on all of the different types of infections linked to an abscessed tooth and I must say, it is freaking me the $@#! out..

Just wanna know from my online community is there another alternative way of getting rid of a painful toothache. Not able to make it to a dentist no time soon, so I wanna know is there something else I can do to decrease the pain.
