Just returned from the dentist. Saw him last week and he said a filling had chipped on an upper right back tooth (UR6). He drilled out the old filling, popped in a temporary filling, said come back in a week for a permanent filling. £70.
Went back today, drilled out temp filling, said there was decay near the nerve so needs a root canal and crown. I asked if I could have the tooth out and he said not a problem, would talk to me about it once he made the tooth comfortable.
Charged me £171 for today. Wants £620 for the root canal, £620 for the crown or £140 for removal. Frustrated that he charged me so much for today and wouldn't remove the tooth whilst I was there, anaesthetic done, etc.
So, has anyone had similar treatment and are these costs the norm?
And anyone had a rear upper tooth out ... experiences?
