Question:

How can i tell if i need a root canal treatment?


Answers:

A dentist needs to examine the tooth and take an x-ray. If the decay visible on the X-ray has extended to the pulp of the tooth, the tooth needs a root canal + post / core +crown if you want to try to save it, which can cost around $2000.

That's why regular checkups are important-- The dentist can detect cavities while they are small and inexpensive to repair (a couple hundred). You really don't want to wait until a cavity gets so bad that you need a root canal + post / core + crown.

Ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure and all that..
