Yeah actually I think $300 for an extraction is pretty reasonable.
The equipment needed costs money, cleaning that equipment costs money, the anesthetic and/or anesthesia costs money, pain killers to take home, plus the possibility of stitches or antibiotics. And that doesn’t get into the skills the dentist needs to have so you don’t bleed out or get an infection, or the rent on the building, malpractice insurance, etc.
Clearly you don’t have the foggiest idea some of the things that go into even a “simple” procedure.
But hey, I’m sure you’ve got a pair of pliers in the garage so next time do it yourself! Cheap and easy! Well, as long as you don’t get an infection and go septic. And let’s not worry about the pain part.
Also, have you ever started a thread that wasn’t complaining about something? Like ever?
C’mon now, surely you don’t want affordable health care?
