Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / March 2006rip off or not?
hello i am very concerned about my husbands recent experience at the dentist. he has a molar with a cavity on it that recently chipped. it hurts him something awful so he went to the dentist to get it pulled. we are incredibly broke so that is why we figured to just get it pulled. we were qouted 190 dollars for that procedure. he goes to the dentist and she sees him for all of 5 minutes charges 70 bucks for the visit and tells him she doesn't want to pull it because hes only 24, and she would feel bad. Which is all undertandable (i suppose) but then she has the gall to tell him they can fix it for 2500 dollars!!!! that is about 2 months pay for us. now is it just me or is this just plain wrong??? the 2500 sounds about right, in fact cheap for for the part of the country I am from. (endo for molar = $1,200) Build up = $200 Crown = 1,100 Is this the break down? or what does it all involve? Ask about payment plans, ask about dental insurance, ask about state and goverment assistance, call your state health department, etc. Good luck.

The blouse is nice too. And here I thought you were going to show me a picture of some broken tooth or root canal. > I agree Steve.
