Am i being overcharged to have two wisdom teeth pulled?

i called western dental today and they said that even if i got a paymnet plan they wanted to charge me 275-300 per wisdom teeth to pull out!!i thought that was ridiculous.i explained to the lady over the phone that i am on state disability its work related and have no other coverage because of it.she still stated i could work out a payment plan,but i told her no way i dont want to be in debt!!!i wanted to get my top two removed then my lower two later but with prices like that,no person in my situation can afford it.i cant go on medical either cause i don't have any brats.do u guys have any other ideas of places i can go for people that are poor like me?

Try your local dental school. They are good and charge less. I just had my upper fourth tooth pulled and was I shocked of the dentist behavior, I called for the appointment and was told they will need 25-30% of the total bill no more than $240.00. I brought a check of $210. I was called into the room to start the procedure, given a consent form to fill, any questions I asked, I was told talk to the dentis when he comes in. Upon his arrival in the room he talked a little and ask about my insurance which I gave to them at the front desk. He said he needs $450,I thought that was the total charge, I said yes I brought $210, he said no, I need $450 now before I work on you or he will not do it and walked out of the room, I was nervious to say the least and shocked about his attitude I explained to him what I was told when I called, his response was that the girls up front do not discuss payment with the client, only the doctor does and I said if that's the case then when we call, we should talk to the doctor's directly because I asked. I could'nt reach my husband on the phone who was in a meeting at the time, I had to call a friend to put the rest on her charge card. The total was $700+. At first I thought I will just leave, but I've been putting this off and had to take care of it. I told him how his behavior was disturbing and inappropriate to me. This is what we have to deal with even when you have insurance coverage. Good Luck
