the Price of a Pediatric Cavity Filling

It costs 135.00 for a dental exam, x-ray, and to have one cavity filled for my six year old son. the cost of the exam was $67.00, the cost of the x-ray was $12.00, and the cost to have one cavity filled was $55.00.

My six year old had a slight fever and was complaining that his teeth and gums were hurting. I noticed that he had a cold sore in his mouth and ust assumed that was the problem. The following day he still wasn't feeling well, so I took him to his pediatrician. The doctor suggested that my little boy probably had a cavity and that we should go to the dentist. It is usually difficult to get a quick appointment at our pediatric dentist, but because it was an emergency, they were able to squeeze us in the same day. I took him to his regular dentist. As usual, the dentist and staff were friendly and great with children. The dentist did an x-ray and found that there was a cavity. They filled the cavity at the same visit. My little boy didn't feel any pain and they finished quickly.

I would suggest going to a peatric dentist that you trust. It always helps if the dentist and his staff are friendly, especially to the children.
