The cost of cavity filling increases if the cavity of your child has affected more numbers of teeth. You may have to visit the dentist or the clinic several times in the case of infection in more numbers of teeth and gum. Visiting the clinic again and again also will increase your expenditure. The distance of the clinic for cavity filling from your location is one of the reasons for determining the cost of your cavity filling.
The third reason for increasing the cavity filling cost is the position of infected teeth.
