That's more a symptom of a bad dentist.
It takes a great deal of time to do a root canal treatment
properly. This should not be governed by time and cost but by doing
a proper job.
Like I said, if the treatment isn't done properly, that's a bad
dentist.

So the choices are reduced to not doing the work at all or doing it at
a loss.

At less of a profit.

This is the precise reason why many dentists have packed in doing NHS
work rather than not doing a proper job.

I agree that a lot have packed it in.
