I completely agree that it’s worth balancing cost with skill when it comes to root canals. One option that worked for a relative of mine was visiting a dental school clinic-students perform the work while an experienced dentist supervises, which keeps the price reasonable without cutting corners.
If you’re still comparing options, a trusted dentist can make all the difference. I had a root canal done there last year and the care was excellent, plus they explained every step so I felt comfortable the whole time.
