Re: Cost of tooth extraction in QLD?
 
So, can anyone provide contact details of a Brisbane based dentist that can do root canals for <$1,000?

I doubt anyone can give you a guaranteed estimate as the amount of work required is an unknown, eg how many root canals need treatment, how long are they, how narrow are they??? I've had a lot of root canals treated here so know that the difficulty varies a lot. My local dentist did most but then he had to refer me to a specialist for one particular tooth he couldn't do himself.

Brisbane bound

No concession card was required and it was really simple to arrange an appointment by phone.

What are you arriving at?..Elizabeth Windsor or a Harry Smith can chalk out a better plan purely for reasons related to eugenics?? :p

As it obviously went over your head:nod: I was inferring that going to Thailand was the cheapest option. The dentistry there is first class. However Australia's fixation with "Buy Australian, made in Australia by Australians etc. ...............oh never mind I can't be arsed to explain, draw your own conclusions.

P.S No I meant Sing! The 'H' is dropped to make the name more Australianised
