I was told by a dentist that I should have a root canal done on a back molar.  At the time I was in the process of moving so I put off having the dental work done.   Now that tooth is starting to hurt when I eat certain foods.  I been trying to find some dental insurance that can help me have a root canal done.

The few dental insurance plans  I called on stated that they can not give me a price quote for a root canal without an ADA code.  On some of the dental plans I was told that they would only cover a root canal if the general dentist in the plan can do the service, that they do not cover specialist.  The dental plans that do cover for both general and specialist, still tell me I would need to know the ADA code.

I called the dentist office that told me a year ago about what I needed but got no help from them.  So how do I know the ADA code that I will need and I do I know if I will need to see a specialist or not?  Any advise
