The last time I looked into dental insurance here in the US the premiums were costly and the insurance would cover only a very limited dollar amount of work. It made more sense to leave the money in my savings account in case I needed it, rather than spending it on the insurance premiums.

I have yet to find a private dental plan that would actually save me money. What's covered (cleanings, etc.) costs less than the premiums. And if you need something big (root canal, caps) the payout is less than you've paid. It's absurd.
Absolute worst thing ever; if you
don't have company-paid dental, included in your healthcare coverage, it's bl**dy impossible to find decent dental and believe me, I've been looking ever since my last "good" plan was nuked. People who have company-paid dental have
no idea what it's like trying to find viable private coverage.
@Rumple: with my crap Irish teeth, (despite flossing and waterpiking and all that like an obsessive loony forever) I've had a number of root canals and the
only time I've ever had pain, after the first part of the Root Canal, was when the dentist at the time drilled the WRONG damn tooth. I've
never had pain like you've described after the first step and I hope he figures out what's going on.
