Just got back from the dentist. I knew they would tell me I need a root canal and a crown, but I wasn't prepared for the cost- oof. Has anyone used CareCredit before? We don't have dental insurance, so it's entirely out of pocket .
Another thing- the quote they gave me included IV sedation at my request. I think would be the best option for me because I have bad anxiety. If I didn't do the sedation, the bill would be almost $1k less. Has anyone ever had root canals without sedation, just the local anesthetic? It's a molar, so it's a deep, multiple canal tooth. I suppose I am just freaking myself out, but one of my biggest fears is pain from a dental procedure.
