Had the permanent filling put in today. What I saw in the x-ray was cement not gutta percha. The dentist whowed me the difference on the x-ray. Also had a ‘build up’ for a crown. I was billed $825 for the root canal, total. The build up and crown will be much more.
Cement, not gutta percha? If he has digital xrays, please ask for a copy. Cement is only used for cementing a crown to a tooth.
I have NEVER heard of cement instead of gutta percha (unless he used the term cement instead of IRM) . Not to alarm you, but most gd’s SHOULD NOT be doing rcts.
