How much extra $$ is an 'EMERGENCY' dental visit? like for an extraction!


Question: Call your local dental society to get the names of dentists that provide free, low cost and sliding scale fee services. Most cities, states and counties have them. The dental societies are usually named after the city, state and counties they are in.

Last time i went in for an emergency pulling, it cost me about $150, but that was a few years ago. Now, I have good dental insurance so i can actually see a dentist on a regular basis, saving me the trouble of emergency sessions.

Unless you are speaking of 'Emergency' as in going during non-business hours... you should just be able to call the dentist first thing in the morning and see if they have any openings in their schedule or if they could put you on as a call in should one open up. Then you would be looking at a normal exam type visit, well with an extraction as well. Typically the exam itself can run you anywhere from around $60-140.

I would also like to suggest you take a look at Ameriplan, and even search for providers in your area, who knows your dentist could be on the list of participating providers and if so, you could be looking at roughly $12-50 for the exam & anywhere from $48-130 for the extraction itself?

I personally use the plan and love it! Let me know if there is anything else you have questions about or if you'd like to enroll we can do so, and get you in to the dentist asap, possibly even Monday, or at the latest Tues.

Hopefully this can help you!

I work at a dentist office in Utah, and and emergency visit is about 60, x-ray is about 30, and to pull it it could be anywhere from 125-180.
