You know how dentists can be. They'll find anything to try to get you to spend money.
I know I have a cavity I need filled but he said it may turn into a root canal, he won't know until he starts working on it.
Then some other shit.
Idk I'm not in any mouth pain or anything so I guess all I can do is wait and save up money.
And he also suggested me taking some sort of sedative. Started with a T and it'd "knock me out" while he is doing the procedure. That alone cost $345
Idk I don't Fucking know

Like I've said I've spent close to $100,000 (of my insurance's money) on dental insurance, and have yet to need a root canal. And my teeth 'used to be' pretty fucked up.
Get the cavity filled. A cavity SHOULD NOT cost more than $125 WITHOUT insurance. If you're not in pain a root canal is absolutely insane to consider. Find another dentist in my opinion. If they numb you up right you don't need a sedative, although I'd just ask to be gassed (which is about $150, not $350).
But honestly, if you're not in pain every time you bite, you do not need a root canal. He's swindling you. Root canal = last resort. It kills the tooth completely. The only way you need a root canal is if the fillings DON'T fix the pain, and crowns are not possible. Only when a crown fails should you consider a root canal, unless you have some fucked up tooth infection that he has proof of (which I doubt). But then again, I'm not fucking dentist. But I do recommend finding another one if possible.

Anesthesia is expensive as fuck. You could get quite a bit knocked off if you go with local. Though it probably won't be pleasant.

I've had two root canals before and they did't sedate me. It wasn't painful or anything like that

My dad got a root canal when he was in the Army 300 years ago. They didn't sedate him properly and he punched the Lt Colonel dentist in the face and got thrown in jail for a few weeks

I've had like 5 root canals and never been sedated. There is no need with proper numbing. The only time I got put under was when they pulled all 4 of the impacted wisdom teeth at once. They put me OUT for that.
Basically, I neglected my teeth from 16 to 25 and as a result I had tons of cavities and root canals. Spent over 10 grand fixing all my teeth but now they look and feel great. It was well worth it. Now I'm a nazi with my oral hygiene. I was in some serious pain before I fixed them.

As I was locking my bike up, he was right behind me in his truck, kept asking if he could "hit that" and I said no thanks I'm married and he kept saying shit like oh where do you live, where do you work, get in the truck ill give you a ride, we can go fuck I got a baby mama and she won't find out and your man won't. Then he repeatedly asked to touch my butt.
I walk in to the store, buy what I was going to buy, and then asked a manager to walk me out. The dude was still sitting there in his truck, waiting. The manager made it seem like he was just picking up trash and I got on my bike and left, I hear the dude yell "YO I DIDNT MEAN NO DISRESPECT" as he floored it through the parking lot. I just went as fast as I could because I didn't know if he was going to follow me.
I called the store a few hours later to talk to the manager and thank him and he said the dude went the total opposite way as me, but had he turned down the same way I went, he was going to call the police for my safety.
It was kinda scary but pretty annoying.
that really makes me angry viva sorry you had to go through that..next time be more tactical and get his plates or call the cops right away
and also your BF should provide you with a car instaed of a bike..carry your gun viva no means no this guy was stalking and sexually harassing you..you gotta have the nerve and ability to identify a dangerous situation..get a pancake holster so it stays tight to your body..funny thing is 90% of people who buy guns never practice them..start going through drills and get a CCW,youll learn so much
