Does this price sound right?

We have been quoted £300 for a dental, and then said plus they charge for each tooth, what? This sounds very expensive to me, worth ringing somewhere else for a second opinion?

I got charged about £300 for Annie's dental...she had one extraction. It cost even more as she was over 8 so they needed to run blood tests to check she could handle the anaesthetic. Ring around if you can though.

My boy is 14 and had full blood work lastweek so it isn't including that, that alone was £120 think we are all in the wrong business!

Tell me about it! When I graduated in dentistry I was working part-time doing hygienes and getting this amount after working a month (okay, I was in Brazil then and it was a long time ago, but I'm sure you would pay much less than that in your dental hygiene!)
