Question: My daughter has three baby teeth that need be pulled.   I can see the adult teeth starting to come in and the baby teeth are all lose but they are not coming out on their own like they should.   I do not have what it takes to pull them out so I am going to take her to the dentist.

My question under my dental insurance plan how do I know what tooth extraction it would be.  I thinking it should be the cheaper ones since they should be able to just pull them out.  How can I confirm so I do not go in thinking it is one thing then get hit by a much larger bill.

Answer: Since dental insurance plans are different you would want to confirm with your insurance plan member service line. Generally speaking it will fall under a simple extraction or ADA codes 7111 – 7210.  You could have your dentist tell you the ADA codes for the dental work needed then before having the work done, then call your dental insurance company to find out what your cost is for that code.
