Selecting the Best Affordable Tooth Extraction

Some people avoid going to the dentist because they are concerned about costs, not knowing that affordable tooth extraction is available. Does this sound like you? Don’t let money stop you from getting the dental care you need. It’s possible to receive the treatment you require at a price you can afford!

When do you need an affordable tooth extraction?

Tooth extractions can only be done during emergencies or upon recommendation by your dentist. Some problems that may require extraction include:

·         Overcrowding, or the lack of space for teeth to grow in your mouth

·         Impaction, or the inability of your teeth to grow out of the gums

·         Periodontal infections that may result in more infections, illnesses, and a damaged root

·         Severe physical damage to your teeth caused by disease or trauma

In addition, you may receive tooth extraction if you constantly suffer from severe tooth pain, jaw stiffness, and gum infections.

Finding a dentist that provides affordable tooth extraction

·         Create a list of potential dentists by asking your family, friends, neighbors, and other healthcare providers for referrals. Make sure to call each dentist’s office as you narrow down your list, preferably to those available for a consultation.

 

·         Go through each dentist’s credentials, including their educational background, training experience, and years of practice. Check if they are members of the American Dental Association (ADA) and your local dental society.

 

·         Check if they accept your insurance. The best clinics accept a wide range of in-network insurance providers including Delta Dental, Dental Select, Sun Life Financial,P remera Blue Cross, Aetna, Humana, United Concordia, Cigna, Unum, GEHA, Tricare, HMA, Guardian, Blue Cross Blue Shield ,Mutual of Omaha, Anthem Blue Care, Ameritas, Dentemax, Metlife, Principal, and United Health Care.

 

·         If you don’t have insurance and can’t afford to pay for the treatment in one go, ask if they have financing options that are suitable for you.

Once you’ve decided on a clinic, come in for a consultation. The dentist will assess your current condition and recommend the best treatment. Don’t be shy to ask about costs right away. Some of the best clinics even have flexible payment plans!
