Unfortunately that is not very likely, as this is not a dental or medical forum, and we very strictly do not allow people to advertise their services or profession.

When this thread was started, we had less strict rules. The information was, and is, very useful to people, but, undoubtedly Goandentist also got a lot of free advertising.

I'm not doubting his, or anybody else's intentions: a lot of advice was given, and given to people travelling nowhere near his clinic, but our tightened rules cannot allow this now.

None of this stops established members telling how much their treatment cost, or even recommending their dentist!

Please be aware that root canal treatment is something that can easily be skimped, and the cot made less. After drilling out the inside of the root, the dentist should treat it, and apply a temporary filling. He should repeat this treatment often enough to be sure that there is no infection left.

I do not remember how much I paid for the root canal therapy I had done here, but I do know that I had a mixture of 22 crowns/bridge done for Rs70,000 back in 2005 --- about 3,000 each.
