NHS dental charge/England Wisdom tooth

I'm aware about the 3 levels of payment.
I go to a NHS dentist re my teeth
A year ago I had a loose wisdom tooth removed and it came out with a slight pull - they charged me
90 quid I was told beforehand but did nothing as it was the tier 2 price.
I have an appt next week Monday for another wisdom tooth ie the one next to the one taken out last time, it too is loose but not as much.
When I asked re charge of not being tier two the person on the phone said it was what i paid last time.
Is the above right as i read that some NHS dentists refuse to remove wisdom teeth and I thought it may be that
Tier 2 is about 63 or 76 but certainly not 90 quid.
Thanks

To be fair removing teeth these days seems to be better and 'easier' thanks to new equipment they use.It is a fair chunk of money but from my point of view where they struggled to get the root out and it broke up I'd have paid extra for a quick 'pop' not to have to go through that and all the injections and follow up twice.I think the last time I paid for fillings etc it was the £60 mark.
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
