How much is root canal treatment in NHS ?

Question

I have my teeth Filled as an Emergency.

I have to wait for 1 month till I get to the UK and I have to do a RCT as soon as possible

My Questions:

1. My tooth has been cleaned ( the black decay) and filled for emergency. Now I need a RCT. No Pain so far. Is it safe to wait for a month till I get to the UK and do it there?

2. How much does Root Canal Treatment cost in the UK ?

Note: Its 1 molar tooth.

NHS dental treatment falls into 3 categories of payment and since this is one of the more complicated procedures i think the price will be around the £200 mark which is the highest.
