Greater price transparency among dentists
28th May 2010
Filed in News
From the first October will be even easier to check the dentists price levels on the Internet. Dental Association and the Danish Regions has namely been agreed that dentists should disclose price ranges of several treatments on sundhed.dk.
Today, the private dental clinics provide information from and to the prices of eight services. The first October is the number of services expanded to ten, so that dentists should also inform about price ranges of surgical removal of a tooth and root canal into two channels. Simultaneously, the descriptions of the eight current benefits on sundhed.dk be made more precise. This will allow patients' ability to compare the price ranges from clinic to clinic will be even better.
- We believe in transparency, also in terms of prices. It is only fair that you can sit at home at the computer and get an idea of price levels in dentists. We are therefore delighted that we now can use sundhed.dk to familiarize themselves with the updated price ranges. That said, there are no two treatments are similar, says Dental Association's chief negotiator Bear Haulrig and explains:
- You have to go to the dentist and be examined before you can get just the exact price. The dentist can not give you, when ye have agreed on what treatment to begin. If the cost of treatment exceeds DKK 2,500, you are entitled to an offer of an unspecified written price estimate, says Dental Association's chief negotiator Bear Haulrig.
The agreement on increased price transparency is part of a new dentist agreement which Dental Association and the regions Salary and Rate Board has just been agreed.
Has a loose front tooth. Must be replaced and at what cost?
Question:
hi, I'm sitting with a front tooth which I 15 years ago was root canal treated and now it come loose. I am a suffering lot of dental fear and a little nervous. 'my dentist has mentioned before that it would be necessary with a stiff tooth. How does it work? I need my teeth pulled out completely, it is very painful, how many times by a dentist is required? and what will it cost? So many questions, hope you have time to respond ... smiles
Happy New Year. greeting cp
Answer:
Dear CP,
It does not bode well when your tooth has become loose now, get it checked by a dentist immediately. If it is to be pulled out, it is, of course, painless, under local anesthesia. If there is to crown and pin on, the price is approx. 8000 million, requires approx. 2-3 dental visits.
Hope you can use my answer.
Sincerely
Dentist Joan Olsen
