Endodontic Services: Root Canal Care When You Need It
Q: What endodontic (root canal) services are included?
A: Root canals are covered once per tooth every five years to save damaged teeth.
During lunch with his crew, Tom bites down on an olive pit and feels a sudden, sharp pain in his molar. The dentist explains that Tom needs a root canal, and the insurance covers one root canal per tooth every five years. Although the procedure is uncomfortable, Tom feels relieved that the plan covers it in full, preventing the need for extraction.
After the procedure, Tom is grateful that his tooth is saved, allowing him to avoid the hassles of a missing molar. The insurance ensures he doesn’t have to make tough financial decisions about his oral health, and he returns to work pain-free, ready to focus on the next shoot.
