Just had this done today. My dental office charges $250 per quadrant...which means $250 each for upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right. Fortunately, patients don't always need all quads done at the same time. I did two full quads and one tooth in the third quad (they charged $125 for that) so my total today was $625. Insurance should cover most of that cost.

The dentist said you have an absessed tooth does it have to be pulled or can it heal?
No. Generally speaking an absessed tooth can be saved by antibiotic therapy and root canal therapy together. There are times when a tooth cannot be saved though- when not enough tooth structure is left to support a crown or "cap", or when a root is actually fractured. Sometimes an absessed tooth is caused from a periodontal problem or in other words, a gum problem. This requires antibiotics and debridement or "deep cleaning" - or surgery.

How much does a failed root canal job cost?
Call the dentist that did your root canal or any current dentist. When the nerve dies the tooth turns grey. Then the tooth has to be pulled. Depending on where your 'root canal' is, you may need a bridge or implant. This was my experience. Cost would depend on the dentist fee and insurance consideration. Blessings.
