Pulling Tooth vs Root-Canal (?)

Having a back molar pulled tomorrow.

Dentist says a root canal would be very expensive, and likely not even very strong cause the cavity is already too big.

I think dentists in Canadiana are like a mafia; their prices are outrageous, and they would rather the poor/middle class go toothless than overstand their greed/rates.

They can do this because most people here have dental insurance plans, so they don't care what the dentist bills. I would be curious if I went for a 'checkup' at 10 different dentists what the range of diagnoses I would get.

Maybe I'm just bummed I'm losing a tooth. T'will suck.

:(

I've previously never even had a cavity, filling - nothing.

Had my wisdom teeth pulled but that's it. Was always very happy about this; always had strong teeth.
This is a major blow to my perceived youth :)

a friend of mine opted for the tooth pull instead of the stank bref root canal$. the dentist pulled two teeth, his teeth all fell to the back of his gumline and then all loosened up, he got slackjaw and then they fell out. It was a matter of a year he had a full upper plate and the following year the bottom. Once they start leaving thats it, you should try to keep what you have.

I have a friend who is a dentist, he still charges $200 for tools and what ever expendibles. HE ALWAYS INSISTS TO KEEP WHAT YOU GOT'

How much for root canal now days?
