Need a crown for a Root Canal, insurance won't cover it and and I can't afford it
I might need a root canal for my far back left molar. It doesn't cause me any pain but the dentist I went to said I was probably going to need one. I went to my first couple appointments for cleanings and a couple of regular fillings and talked about the root canal for the tooth. I got to the appointment for the tooth they numbed me up and everything and then proceeded to tell me that the crown that would go on top of the tooth would be $1000. I don't have $1000 dollars so I left and rescheduled. I got my insurance switched from healthy blue to United healthcare in the meantime. A couple days before the appointment called the front office and she said that since it is still under Medicaid it probably wouldn't be covered still. I'm just looking for help with maybe insurance that could cover it or any alternatives to a crown I'm honestly just lost and defeated rn.
