I doubt you will find one, it appears the dentists will refer you to an oral surgeon, had this happen twice to me. It has been a few years since I but I think the cost was around $1000, we have no dental coverage.

More likely, they referred you to an endodontist. That is a dental specialist in root canals, and other treatments of pathology originating in the pulp of the tooth.

Most regular dentists don't do root canals. They will refer you to a specialist. Then, usually, you will need to return to the dentist to get a crown to protect the tooth. So, you can expect to spend more than $2,000. I use Dr. Chris Lunsford in Leesburg, who is very reasonable, and he will do the crown after referring you for the root canal.

Check dental plans.com . Shows dentist and pricing by procedure. It’s discounted procedures for small premium

Root Canal
 
My wife need 2 last year and we have a FEDVIP coverage plan. Still had out of pocket costs of over $5K for the two of them and did not cure pain she was having in jaw which was original problem. Referred to UF/Shands and determined she had clogged saliva glands and needed a surgical procedure. BTW, Shands Dental School accepts patients and have some discounted prices, but 75 miles to Gainesville.

And I'm looking for a Leprechaun riding a unicorn. Let's see who is the first one to find what they are seeking.

DR LUNSFORD IS AN HONEST DENTIST. I have been exposed to 2 'dentists' around The Village area: the 1st wanted $2800, the 2nd $6800 and Dr Lunsford $426. They were ALL looking at the same x-rays. Those around and close to The Villages know they are dealing with seniors who have money, and they are unethical outright crooks!
