Kathryn, didn't Dientes give you some advice on finding someone who would do root canals in SC County that accepts MediCal? Did they just send you out the door and and say "Good luck"? They were great to me when I needed a couple fillings and I was broke and unemployed. Recently, I had to get an implant and found out my insurance would only cover pulling my tooth that had split, but not for the replacement even though it would screw up the rest of my teeth that they would cover to repair which would be more than the@Q#$$ implant (god I hate medical/dental insurance companies). All quotes I received for my implant in S. Cruz county were all around $6,000!! For one frickin' tooth! I almost went to Yuma, AZ because right over the border in Mexico are excellent dental offices that do nothing but service Americans. It would have cost $800 there, but I found a dental office in Santa Clara that would do it for only $2300 and with travel to Yuma and hotel, it ended up being better to go to Santa Clara. Still a lot, but something I could pay off over many months. If you absolutely can't find someone to do the root canal here, look over the hill. The group who did my implant also does root canals. They may take MediCal. I thought they did an excellent job and I've referred a lot of people to them. Here is there website. http://www.cdgimplants.com/
