the Price of a Pediatric Cavity Filling

My son had two dental fillings at this dental visit. The cost of the two fillings combined was $292. Included in the price of $292 was the Novocaine to numb the two areas being worked on in his mouth, the two resin filling and the dentists time for doing the fillings

We were completely satisfied with the quality of the service the dentist provided. My son was very nervous because he had never had a filling before. The dentist did a superb job of putting my son at ease and assuring him it wouldn't hurt a bit. The dentist was also very kind and promised my son a small toy airplane when he was done.

I felt the pricing was a bit higher than a few other dentists in our area that take children as patients but I felt it was worth the bit extra it cost us to have a dentist who worked very well with young children.

My best tip for using a pediatric dentist is to ask for recommendations from other parents and actually go meat the dentist for a few general cleanings of the teeth to make sure your child is at ease with the dentist and to make sure you have selected a dentist that actually works well with younger children.
