48. How much does a kid’s dental visit cost?

With Dental Insurance:
Many insurance plans — including most pediatric policies and Medicaid — often cover preventive care for children at little or no cost. This includes exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants.

Additional services, like fillings or specialty X-rays, may require a copay or coinsurance depending on your plan.
Children 2 years old and under receive free exams, X-rays, and cleanings.

Without Dental Insurance:

Routine exam & cleaning: typically $50 – $200 per visit
Fluoride treatment: around $20 – $30
Dental X-rays: $25 – $150, depending on type and quantity
Dental sealants: approximately $30 – $50 per tooth
Cavity fillings: $75 – $300+ per tooth, based on size, material, and complexity
Emergency or advanced procedures: costs vary depending on treatment needed
