not only did they go to school for a highly trained skill, the machines they use aren't cheap.  everyone thinks that when you go for an X ray and use those machines that its very costly, except IT IS COSTLY.  those machines cost HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.  for you to pay $80 is peanuts when you look at the big picture.  and their aren't millions of them like cars so they can't be mass produced, they are hand made.  And that is why going to the dentist and any other type of doctor that has those types of machines is so expensive.  \n\nThey're not trying to rip you off, in fact they are trying to give you teh best price THEY CAN AFFORD.

While I don't want to post the access to the full information here, I am in the dental industry and can give you a little bit of the guidance you are asking for.\n\nIn a survey of dentists taken in 2003, for the Mountain States Region, prices were as follows:\n\nDental Exam - 30th percentile - $35\n              median - $35\n              70th percentile - $45\n\nFull Mouth X-Ray - 30th percentile - $75\n                   median - $95\n                   70th percentile - $95\n\nBite Wing X-Ray (4) - 30th percentile - $35\n                      median - $35\n                      70th percentile - $45\n\nAdult Cleaning - both 30th and 70th percentile - $65\n\nIf you are visiting a dentist for the first time, it is likely that the practice will want to do a full mouth X-Ray.  Once you are a regular patient, they will be more likely to do bite-wing xrays on recall visits.  \n\nAlso, keep in mind that this is a survey from 2003, so prices may have changed a bit.  But this will give you a little better idea of the price structure.\n\nAs you look for a dentist, keep in mind that there are many other factors besides price.  Just as 'hamburgers' are cheaper at McDonalds than they are at Outback, and just as 'blue jeans' are cheaper at KMart than they are at Nordstroms, the price of 'dental exams' are cheaper at some practices than others.  Top quality dentists will not aim to have the lowest prices, and there's a reason for that.  \n\nModern dentistry has produced a lot of innovations (such as lasers) that make dentistry far less painful, invasive and traumatic than ever before.  Different practices implement new technology faster than others.  The dental experience you get will vary among practices and dentists.

In the midwest it is typically anwywhere from 8.50 to 10.00 an hour depending on where you live and what type of clinic you start out in.\n\nIf you want a better idea for the starting range in your area, I would go to a job search site like Monster.com and do a search, a lot of times they will have the salary to be paid on there.

It really depends. Just starting out in your first year probably about 30-40 thousand. Many established reps make well over 100,000. It will be easier if you can sell other products as well. Disability, long term care etc...

You may want to try a local university or college in your area.  Many times they have dental students who do a lot of work and it is generaly a good thing because the instructors are on hand as well.  Sometimes you can get quality care.\nGood Luck Health Care Does Break Your Bank

go buy a book on dental assistanting..it will be easier to learn the procedures & instruments using them...\n I used to train assistants & dentist in a large clinic.. sometime the dentist were more clueless than the untrained assitance !!\n Study Grey's Antomy..of the head..it will help you to understand the area you are going into....\n You can get a free version on line....also anything to do with Dental Radiology..it's amazing how many dentist can't even take an x ray !! I taught many how to do that too..\n Also learn about "Cross Cantamination"...CDDC in Miami has a great class on it...not sure if the CDDC has anything on line..\n Good luck

Contact your local or state dental association and and see if there are any dentists who provide free or reduced cost care for low-income, disabled or senior patients.\n\nCall your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.\n\nYour local United Way may also be aware of such a clinic.  In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information."\n\nGo to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.\n\nCheck http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.\n\nCheck http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.\n\nYou might also check into:\nhttp://www.prosper.com

Actually, even though it sounds far fetched, it is possible. Radiology Tech is a fairly hot field. A few years ago, I was doing a rotation at UCSF. A friend I knew from before med school was working there as a Rad Tech. He was making approx. $35/hour, had his apartment paid for and took home close to $900/month food allowance. He also took extra shifts across the Bay in Oakland for $50/hour. He explained to me that ultrasound techs make much more. His probaly isn't the average situation for most Rad Techs, but an example of what is possible. One caveat, he was a "traveler"--taking short term positions. If you are good, it can be a fairly nice lifestyle. As far as the 6 figures? Who knows? I'm sure this isn't what they make starting out or at public hospitals.

Serious question: I consulted with Tooth Fairy and she told me that if the child has been brushing his/her teeth properly and if he/she does not eat a lot of chocolate, she might consider Indian Rupees 100( about US $ 2.2) for the first tooth and half of that for the subsequent ones.

Some colleges or universities that have dental schools offer free or reduced-cost dental care, if you are willing to let the senior students, who haven't graduated, do the work (under the supervision of the instructors, of course!)\n\nYou could also check with your local Department of Human Services ("Welfare") to see if you or your family qualify for any assistance.\n\nContact local churches (Catholic Charities, for example) to see if they have any aid available.\n\nCall The United Way in your area. They may have some leads for you.\n\nHope this helps!

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.

It can start in the ballpark of $3500 and go up from there. The national average for Invisalign is about $5000.

Generally around $2000 per tooth in the U.S.  It varies depending on what state you live in.  Also, insurance will not pay for any of the procedure... the patient has to pay for them 100% out of pocket.

Cheap, pull it.\n\nIf salvageable, expect starting price of $1800 for root canal and crown.
