I went to a dentist in Hamilton 10days ago with toothache, xray showed abcess, cavity and previous poor root canal work. My options were, refer to orthodontist and fee to save tooth started at $2400 or my dentist extractin the tooth for $200. Reluctantly and financially I opted for extraction but had to have a wk worth of antibiotics 1st, that visit cost $80 & prescription $15, the tooth was pulled last wk cost $180 but 2 days later developed an infection in the wound, another visit but a freebie this time. Now I am still in discomfort but poppin the pills and will go back if I need to.
After ringin 5 diff clinics locally I see they are all much the same prices, however I agree that they are more thourough and professional than my NHS one. Also mine is from Iraq and is truly mad as a hatter which helps wi the nerves
