In all honesty, even after all the health considerations, it may not be worthwhile to you financially to have a root canal. I spent almost 2,000 dollars on having a bio-calyx type root canal treatment and porcelain crown. The crown broke after three years and the tooth itself was never cured of infection. So now I still have to pay to get it extracted and will try using a flipper or partial for now (until genetic therapy comes along if it does). In all I have had 4 root canals costing near 5,000 dollars and have kept none of the teeth. In the meantime I believe I have put my health in jeopardy as a result. That is not to say that one cant have root canal teeth and be symptom free, but to me it is a health risk that might catch up to you eventually.

bio-calyx is a root canal filling material you should avoid. It is considered a banned substance and has been proven to expand upon setting therefore splitting a root! Root canals are a viable option in saving a tooth, and if you ever need a root canal, you should make sure you have it done by an ENDODONTIST (a root canal specialist) who will do it right the first time.

Can you get dry socket from a root canal?

No. By definition, a 'dry socket' is a painful condition that occurs following a tooth extraction, not a root canal. That is not to say that you cannot have pain following a root canal. You can, particularly if the tooth was acutely infected at the time of the root canal, or if the root canal is incomplete. You should consult with the dentist who performed the procedure and follow his/her recommendations.
