it cost us about $1200 about 5 years ago... there is a public dental system but you have to be on the pension I think... and there is a HUGE waiting list... most dentist will take a payment plan as a root canal takes quite a few visits ( well mine did )... if it is a back tooth I would think about getting it taking out, cheaper, and no-one will be able to see it...

mine was a frount tooth, so now its black God how I hate it... I wish I just got it out and got a fake one...

most denisit will want to cap the thooth after the root canal to make the tooth stronger so thats extra about another $1000 I think...
