Dentists

[Silver]

My husband has really good teeth....no cavities...nothing. Hasn't seen a dentist in many years. He was having pain in one of his third molars (wisdom tooth) and we made an appointment for my dentist to see him. Dentist says the tooth is cracked and did the extraction without much difficulty.

Charge = $449.00.

This included one film and the extraction. Yipes.

I like this dentist so didn't protest. But that sure seems like alot.

Here's the treatment plan for my VERY smart daughter (with six wisdom teeth, dammit):

$470 D9220 Sedation/General Anestesia
$305 D7210 Surgical Extraction of Tooth #1
$305 D7210 Surgical Extraction of Tooth #16
$360 D7220 Surgical Extraction, Impacted #17
$360 D7220 Surgical Extraction, Impacted #32
$530 D7240 Surgical Extraction, Bony #51
$530 D7240 Surgical Extraction, Bony #68

Luckily we've already hit the annual deductable and she's not 19 yet, so covered under Obamacare.
