I avoided the Dentist for 5 years due to severe dentist anxiety, recently had an infection and had to have root canal treatment. I went to a place called 'freedom dental' that is actually pretty ridiculous in that it burns votive candles and you can watch movies and tv shows while you have stuff done, but more importantly they were completely queer friendly (unlike another place in brunswick where i went for a quote) and they were super good and respectful and amazing with my anxiety. I think it was about $80 for the check up and $55 for xrays which i think is quite standard. Tooth extraction is between $200-$400 depending on the tooth and root-canal therapy cost varies but was $800 a visit for three appointments. It is $240 for a filling however in my experience of dentists a filling ranges between $200-$300.
Because of bad experiences etc it was really important for me to just pay the money and feel as confident as possible about the work being done,
They also took heaps of my calls and answered all of my questions about cost, my fears and the work being done etc, I didn't have health insurance so had to pay out of pocket, but if anyone is dental surgery phobic etc, I would highly recommend this place.
