Is $1,200 enough for cavities? 10 points..?

I dont have dental insurance i was wondering if $1,200 is enough for around 7-8 cavities that some are decayed i wanst at the dentist in so long...or how many cavities can $1,200 fix me.
--------------------
If all you need are simple fillings, then $1,200 should do it, although a lot depends on where you live. Dentists in big cities tend to charge more than dentists in small towns. One problem is that you can't be sure that simple fillings will be enough. If your cavities are so big that you need something more elaborate, like a root canal and crowns, then it is going to cost quite a bit more than $1,200. The only way to find out for sure is to go to the dentist and ask him for an evaluation and a treatment plan. If the cost looks like more than you can handle all at once, it may be that you can do the worst teeth first and let the other ones wait for a while. That's what I did. I needed a lot of work, and the dentist advised which fillings could wait--they were small and in less-dangerous areas. I just did the most important ones first.
