There isn’t a dentist around here who takes our insurance who will also handle a root canal.
We found out about this whole thing the hard way when my husband found out that he had to have a root canal done on one of his teeth.
He was having a lot of pain in his lower jaw and when he went to the dentist office to find out what the problem was, they told him that the toothache was happening because he needed to have a root canal done. The people at the dentist office told him that he was going to have to go to an emergency dental clinic to have it looked at because they don’t handle that kind of thing at the office. I did not know this until this point. I thought that they handled all kinds of stuff at the dentist office. Apparently, if it’s something like a root canal or another sort of dental surgery, they make you go somewhere else. At least that is the way it is here with our dentist. Unfortunately for us, the insurance company that we currently have our insurance through will not let us have a root canal at any of the places around here. We found one place that will do a root canal, but it’s about an hour and a half away. I can’t believe that they expect us to drive that far when we have all kinds of places that do dental surgery near us. I don’t understand insurance companies except for the fact that they are in it for money!
