Visible cavities and fallen out molar?

My boyfriend has visible cavities on two of his front teeth and his second to last molar in the back fell out. He had braces on for almost a year too long when he was teen and now as a man in his early twenties is really apprehensive about going to a dentist, due to his prior experiences and costs of care. We live in Boston now and I was wondering if anyone out there had any suggestions about where to go and how much something like this would cost?


Thank You

Visible cavities and fallen out molar?
I cant recommend anyone in the area and I couldnt tell you if the braces were on too long ...





but its impossible to determine the total without seeing the mouth. cavities on front teeth can usually be filled... this would run from 100-300 per tooth depending on the size.... if they are really big they need crowns.. about 1200-1500. if they decay is deep they would need rootcanals, 800ish PLUS the cost of the crown.





The back tooth may not even be savable. if part of it broke off then its got some serious decay most likely. if its savable figure its probably gonna need rootcanal (800+) plus post plus crown. and if he has that much decay that obvious , he could easily have a lot more cavities that you just cant see. A legitimate dentist will not just skip the other cavities either. They would all need to be treated properly.
