there is a fee guide from BC dental association that dentists can/should follow (of course we regular people dont have access to it)

for GP i think the price for children and adult is the same...but for pedodontists (dental specialists specialized in children)...the fee will be higher because they use a specialist fee guide...

WOW...the guide is $270????

What a rip off...is that how they (dentists) want to "protect" themselves?

i suppose you can buy the abbreviated guide for 15 dollars

I worked in a dental clinic and you can find those fee guides from public library, but it would not be the current one, only the previous years one.

i see

since you worked in a clinic...do you know if dentists usually charge according the fee guide?
