Why do fillings cost so much?

Why do teeth fillings cost so much? ?

  • as a child I never took care of my teeth so I ended up with lots of cavities, today I went to the dentist and she said that it would cost me 1,200$ to get them all filled I right in front of her screamed "DAMMM" well maybe not screamed but just murmured it so I obviously didn't get anything done but why does this cheap plastic liquid cost that must to be get put on on your teeth?????????

  • Answer:

    composite resin costs more per ounce than gold. it's anything but cheap the dentist spent 8 years and at least $200,000 in schooling. you are paying for him, his assistant, the front office person, and the materials.

how often you go to the dentist? exactly! they have to charge for the lost time and money from people only coming in once a year. now, if you can explain why a BANDAID costs $50 at the hospital, you're a better man than i. personally, i bring my OWN supplies when i go to the hospital. Dollar Store brand is good enough for me :D

I think it's mostly the labor costs as well as the cost of the materials and the anesthetic. They have to numb you, drill the decay out and then fill it.
