Ouch!
Anyone know how much it costs to get a back tooth removed? I guess its called wisdom tooth, but it hurts like hell... My mom said its like $300+ but i dont know... I might call a dentist today, its broken like half way off, and its been like this for a while, i just never got enough money to get it pulled, now it hurts loads more...

I had one pulled a few years ago. I was in Australia however. It cost me $50 including novacain at a private dentist (it would have been free if I'd gone to a hospital and waited).
The US is a joke when it comes to medicine however so I'd say $300 is pretty close.
Shame y'all never got into that universal healthcare idea huh?Former Webhost... now, just a guy.

I guess you dont understand private insurance - well it only costs your copay many times and or your deductible if that has not been met. usually 20-40$
