Cost for a root canal?
Hello. I was just quoted $1700 for a root canal; $2100 with cap repair included. Ouch and ouch again. Is this in the currently typical range for the procedure?

$1700 is typical for a root canal if done by an endodontist (root canal specialist). As some who’s endured 19 (!) root canals and all kinds of extensive dental work, I can offer one advice: always have root canals done by a reputable specialist, an endodontist. The consequences of a failed root canal can be quite serious — often a lost tooth, which can be extremely costly (implants are outrageously expensive).
Speaking from unfortunate experience.
Yes, unfortunately that is what all the oral surgeons charge. It's a racket.
