Amen to that. I've got a root canal scheduled for mid-March that I'm paying for out of pocket and am trying desperately to line up insurance to help with the cost of the crown. In matters such as this, being unemployed is teh suck.
Mad D: I had my first root canal a while back. There was immediate relief from the pain I was having, so I'd have to say it was wonderful! No pain during the procedure. Good luck.
