Hi, i have been quoted RM2K for root canal and crowning. RM1K root canal, RM1K crowning.

Is this price expensive?

I remember my previous crowning at another clinic cost RM600 or RM800 only not too long ago.

Which tooth or teeth is it?
Different materials might cost slightly more due to esthetics?

It's the 3rd from the rear.

Meaning it's either the first molar or the second premolar if you don't have your wisdom tooth.

The RCT part seems decently priced but did the practitioner mention what type of crown is gonna be used?

There's quite a few:
1. Composite resin
2. Metal
3. PFM (porcelain fused to metal) <---- Probably this is what you were offered?
4. Zircornia
5. Full porcelain.

Hi, is it normal to feel this pain on my teeth each time when bitting my food? i just done the filing for a week now

Nope.
Could be the filling not being even or something more serious.

days ago extracted my molar tooth, dentist said it had cracked and split, can't do anything so i simply agreed to the dentist preferred recommendation to extract.

later came home and did some research, learn that split tooth can actually be saved as long as the crack does not extend deep down below the gum line.
this makes me wonder if the dentist makes no good effort of saving my tooth and simply wants me to get a replacement tooth.

the reason for such thought is because no X-ray being performed to determine and confirm the length of the crack during the checkup.
furthermore, days prior to the extraction, there is no gum infection and the pain is not severe unless bite hard....no chewing activity almost no pain.

is my dentist expertise and integrity questionable or is it my understanding about how to diagnose non-restorable crack tooth flawed?

any thoughts?

Keyword was split. That rather serious.
Was there a filling on the tooth previously?

I see, then could you have bitten on something real hard or tough?
