average dentist is 180,000 in the southeastern US and we're the lowest cause the cost of living is so low.  \n\ni've been out of school 2 years and just met with my accountant last night.  he said i'll make a little over 250,000 this year.  guess i'm better than average.\n\nendodontists average about 250,000 but the job sucks.  i can't imagine doing the same exact procedure all day, especially one that hurts people.\n\nboth dentists and endos can easily make over a million a year though.

DentAfford has an affordable dental plan. For as little as $6 per month you can obtain substantial discounts -60% or more in some cases- on all types of dental work. Also known as CIGNA Dental Network Access, it uses a pre-negotiated, reduced Fee Schedule.

You have severely underestimated the cost to the dentist.  I am an orthodontist, and I certainly do not pocket 80-90% of my fee, as you have suggested (boy, that would be nice though.)\n\nThe words GOOD and CHEAP can go together for clothing sales, not healthcare.  You generally get what you pay for when it comes to things like this.  If it is less expensive, then the person providing the care probably is not as good as the guy down the block.  In your area, I would anticipate spening between 3900-5000+ to fix you child. Payment plans help with your budget. Sorry this is not the answer you are looking for, but it is probably what will get your child a good result.

ok..first.. don't call 1 800 dentist!!! trust me.. I manage a dental practice! and we use 1 800 dentist!!! (we pay over $1650 per month to have patients reffered to us)...you tell them you want a Dr. thet takes payment plans, and they will just give you any random Dr. in the area that may not accept payment plans ..not many Dr.s use the service because its so damn expensive that most of the time its not worth it... look in your local paper and find a dentist that advertises w/ a coupon or offers a free consultation.... ( those are the ones that won't charge you your first born just to get your buisness )  Don't know how your credit is, but if its not the greatest, find a Dr. in the area that accepts "in office payment plans" and not just financing ( that is usually through a financing company)

The median expected salary for a typical Dental Hygienist in the United States is $54,000.  The pay rate seems to be the highest on the west coast.  In the profession you will clean teeth and examine oral areas, head, and neck for signs of oral disease. May educate patients on oral hygiene, take and develop X-rays, or apply fluoride or sealants.  If your primary concern is to help your clients, you should do great.  Love what you do no matter what.

Yes it is too much, I worked for a dentist and a gold crown was 895. It is outrageous, shop around. If your insurance is participating, normally they would pay half. If you're going to pay full price shop around and go to another office!

http://www.animated-teeth.com/tooth_extractions/t8_extraction_costs.htm\nsays"\n "ballpark" estimate of the price that you might pay to have a tooth extracted by a general dentist.\n    $75.00 - $140.00 \n\nBut my experience is that with X-ray, anesthesia, etc it can easily run into $500

In this instance, you would pay ths first $200.00 to the dentist and  then the insurance company would pay 80% of the remaining $1200.00.  That would be  $960.00.  That leaves another $240.00 for you to pay.  The billing clerk or insurance specialist in the dentist's office handles this for you.  Every office has one and they are very adept at working with insurance offices.

Not very often - for sure. Dentists and all other medical professionals are licensed, and carefully monitored ... they are not going to risk their careers for a couple of extra bucks from you.
