I call bullshit on that piece of misinformation.
Needing a root canal and not having insurance isn't something that makes a dentist decide to pull a tooth. Unless the tooth cannot be saved, or you yourself decide to have it pulled, they're not just going to yank it out without permission. I'm not a dentist, and even I know this much.
I don't have insurance, and my tooth did need a root canal. I went and had it done, why pull an otherwise strong (according to the endodontist) tooth?
Of course, it cost me $75 for examination, $820 for the root canal, and will cost another $1100 for the crown.
That's a lot of money to save a tooth, but I like having teeth so I'll hafta suck it up and give up Sonic for a while.
