What is the average fee to get a tooth pulled without insurance?

It is not a wisdom tooth. It is a second molar tooth with a large cavity (I believe it had a filling before which ended up falling out). I've had excruciating tooth pain for the past few months but it's gotten worse over the past few weeks. I don't have dental insurance (the reason I've avoided the dentist) but I need to get this tooth pulled out.

What is the average fee and usually you have to pay up front correct? Also, do they have to do x-rays first and how much does that cost?

Update:

To get a tooth pulled? I don't think it costs in the thousands. I asked one dentist around here and they said if it's a regular tooth (not wisdom) it can cost around $100, maybe a little more depending on where you go. I really would like to know about x-rays.

I'm calling a few local dental clinics in the morning and making an appt. asap anyway.
