I had to get a root canal the other day. The dentist had to wait to see if my insurance would cover it because I had recently had a different root canal and "they sometimes don't pay for more than one."
They had to clamp down, since so many people were getting root canals for shits and giggles. /s
You ain't need but the one toof ya fancy sum bitch.
I remember going to the dentist in my 20s, he said that a root was inflamed and needed treatment immediatly, otherwise the root could die and so on and so on. Then he told me how much it would cost, since the insurance doesn't cover that treatment, it was about 1800 euros. I asked him in all seriousness if my insurance would pay if I just would let things happen and get my tooth pulled out afterwards one day, since 1800 Euro was waaay to much for me to pay those days - and still is.
I know this isn't dental related, but I couldn't see a therapist and a psychiatrist in the same day (virtually) because insurance wouldn't cover that.
I've been putting off having two root canals/fillings/caps for years because I don't feel like spending thousands on it, in case they don't cover it. I know I should get this done before people tell me horror stories...again.
