General information regarding your health care
The information and content (collectively, "Content") on this website is for your general educational information only. The Content cannot, and is not intended to, replace the relationship that you have with your health care professionals. The Content on this website is not medical advice. You should always talk to your health care professionals for information concerning diagnosis and treatment, including information regarding which drugs or treatment may be appropriate for you. None of the information on this website represents or warrants that any particular drug or treatment is safe, appropriate or effective for you. Health information changes quickly. Therefore, it is always best to confirm information with your health care professionals.
The Dental Care Cost Estimator sometimes groups together, into "treatment categories," services that are often delivered together to address a particular dental problem. The description of different treatment categories, and the inclusion of particular services in a treatment category, is not advice that any particular treatment category is the right treatment for you or that you should not obtain any particular treatment. All of those matters are things that you should decide, in consultation with your dental care professionals. This cost estimator is intended for use in the 50 states, Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories. If you live outside the U.S., you may see information on this cost estimator about products or services that are not available or authorized in your country.

General information regarding cost estimates
More information regarding how cost estimates are calculated
Cost estimates for services provided by out-of-network dentists (available in the out-of-network estimator) are based upon submitted claims data for out-of-network providers. The data is based on actual, non-discounted charges that providers have billed.
Cost estimates are specific to geographic areas, as defined by the first three digits of a ZIP code (e.g., the geo ZIP for 12345 is 123).
Here are the benefits of creating an account
The fluoridation of public water supplies has played a major role in reducing U.S. tooth decay. But for children — particularly infants — too much fluoride can be too much of a good thing.
Too much fluoride during the formation of teeth inside the gums can cause enamel fluorosis, a cosmetic condition resulting in visible white lines or stripes on the teeth. It doesn’t affect the structure or overall health of the teeth, but it can be a cosmetic concern.
To prevent enamel fluorosis, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends you consider:
Breast-feeding
Using ready-to-feed formula rather than formula mixed with water containing fluoride
Using powdered or liquid concentrate infant formula that can be mixed with water that contains little or no fluoride. Examples include water labeled purified, demineralized, deionized, distilled, or everse osmosis–filtered.
Once your child’s teeth emerge from the gums, there is no danger of fluorosis. However, the last of your child’s permanent teeth might not emerge until about age 12. That’s why the ADA has additional recommendations for the use of dental products containing fluoride.
For children younger than age 2:
After each feeding, wipe the baby’s gums. Begin brushing your child’s teeth with a child-sized toothbrush when your child’s first tooth erupts. Clean and message gums in areas that remain toothless. Do not use fluoride toothpaste until your child is age 2 unless you are advised to do so by a dentist or another health professional.
For kids ages 2 through 5:
Place only a pea-sized dab of fluoride toothpaste on your child’s toothbrush.
Supervise your child while he or she brushes his or her teeth. Make sure your child spits out, rather than swallows, the toothpaste.
Avoid fluoride mouth rinse unless recommended by your child's dentist. Many kids younger than age 6 have not fully developed their swallowing reflex and may accidentally swallow the rinse.
