Cavities??

Question

I've never had a cavity before, and I just found a bunch this morning, well at least I think they are cavities. and I don't have insurance, so I'm going to have to work a lot to be able to afford an appointment and get them filled(and get a crooked wisdom tooth pulled) I've never been to the dentist before so I know nothing about pricing, I know it varies. but approximately, how much would it cost for each filling and pulling a wisdom tooth out? and how much time do I have to save money before I MUST go get them checked? A month maybe? also can they pull out a wisdom tooth that isn't out all the way? is it painful?

does it cost anything to just make an appointment to get it all checked?

I live in seattle if that helps

I have so many questionss, sorry all the Q's are everywhere, if you can just give as much info as possible that would be nice!

haha I've even scared to eat, I don't want to make these cavities worse..

Answer 1

fillings are 100 -120$ per filling and pulling wisdom teeth is expensive not sure but it's alot. Fillings stay for your whole life, get them checked immediatly and see if you can pay it off, Either way pulling wisdom teeth may not hurt during the procedure but afterwards it'll hurt badly. Appointments cost money. But I live in canada so I believe they're paid by the governments. Don't be scared to eat. They aren't triggered by foods. Just junk like chocolate and soda. Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

I would suggest calling around or Googling for Dental Clinics in your area or a Dental School - they will usually charge less for the work than a traditional dental office.  

Fillings can costs anywhere from $15-$150+. A filling is intended to stay in forever.  They can pull wisdom teeth that are only partially exposed and this cost a lot more than a filling.  

You need to find one of the places I suggested above, go in for a Check-up (x-rays/exam - there is a cost but could be minimal depending on where you go) and they will direct you from there as to what you need and how much it will be!!

Good Luck!

The oral cavity is the chief portal into the body. Likewise, via nutritional intake; the mouth interacts with sugars, bacteria, fungi, acids and numerous other components of foods that can spur on gum disease, if they are not promptly removed. The oral apparatus is very reliable but over time, the constant assault of the food and its contaminants take their toll. Gum infection anywhere from mild to severe, seems to affect all of us. If gum disease is, in fact, a contributing factor to various diseases, is it any wonder that heart disease, stroke and diabetes are problems of epidemic proportions? Oral care is a very important subject, since it can impact immensely on the overall health of an individual. Bacteria are the chief culprits, which attack and coat the teeth with plaque and tartar, causing gingivitis. Should the solids or liquids we eat have high sugar content, the bacteria become more active and these problems worsen.
