Affordable pediatric dental care
-
We were quoted $2500 for my 4 year old to get some cavities filled with conscious sedation. (Don’t judge we literally are great brushers). Any way I took his radiographs to two other dentists just to confirm the diagnosis and they both agreed with the proposed plan from the pediatric dentist. So we are 100% going to treat, but I’m now motivated to price shop if that’s even a thing. Willing to drive across the state (we are in ATX). We have FSA funds to cover the $2500 but don’t want to drain that as we have other health expenses too. Any ideas??

Actually, yes. We had an insurance issue today and usually go to Toothbud and switched to Lonestar and paid cash and it was $75 for the clean, exam, xrays and fluoride treatment.
We also had cavities and i have the quote right in front of me. Conscious sedation is $420 and each filling would be $220 without insurance or $40 with our (very average) insurance. Sealant is $68 without insurance or $0 with our insurance. That seems way better than what you were quoted?

@CBeagle also my child needs conscious sedation because they are getting extensive work beyond cavities but i'm sure laughing gas is even cheaper?
