than when I had root canal through an endodontist and the whole lot cost me $2,400 and that was 3 years ago!!!!
I had 3 sessions where he did the work with the first being the only time I experienced pain when he removed the nerve but I did have major infection so I dont know if this was why hurt albeit it only briefly.
My Endodontist told me to take Ponstan for one full week prior to this first session as it will reduce the inflamation and pain on the day. I checked and he said to take the full recommended dose each day which from memory was every 6 hours. I dont know if it helped but I was going to do anything that could offer less pain.
Will look forward to hearing how you went as I have considered crowns from Dr Rudy when I visit next,
