I'm really curious how much people everywhere pay and when they last saw a dentist was. I'm lucky to live somewhere with an actual NHS dentist so these are my payments. Important to note that if I see a dentist for one of them and there is an issue I can get another appointment with the payment already covered from the previous visit. I think I'm also eligible for free dentistry since I'm on unemployment benefits If you live in a poo poo town in the middle of nowhere you're probably hosed for being able to see an NHS dentist though

I pay about 30 dollars for a cleaning because I have decent insurance from my job. But it was determined that I’ve been clenching my teeth badly in my sleep, loving my whole teeth and face up, and the $1,200 custom mouth guard is not covered at all because even “good” dental insurance is mostly loving useless

Hundreds of dollars for a cavity fill. Looking at like $1000+ for a root canal, another several hundred for the crown. You can get an x-ray / diagnosis / cleaning (so your Band 1 course of treatment, looks like) for like $50 because most dentists will do that as an introductory special. Really all that gets you aside from the cleaning is knowledge that you're going to need to come up with like $1000-$2000 to fix anything. Getting my wisdom teeth pulled was thousands of dollars after all was said and done. Maybe like $4k+ and I didn't even get crowns/implants to replace the extra tooth that came out ('cuz that would have been another $1500+ easy). Like the fact that you're paying 62.10 for fillings / root canal work / extractions is making me mad even if that's per filling/extraction/watever. a Loving Dog posted:jesus it would legit be cheaper for some of you to fly to say, korea and get all your dental work done and fly home. There are a ton of American dentists just south of the Mexican border for this exact reason. In San Diego they even have shuttles that will come pick you up, take you down there, then take you home again after the work is done. Jose if anyone you meet in the UK says US healthcare is fine and good feel free to call them a fuckwit moron from me. Tell them it's fine and good to be unable to sleep all night because your tooth is infected due to a botched root canal that left a fat pocket but you didn't know until 2 years later and hurts like hell but you don't know if you can afford to get it removed so you're googling around on how to remove teeth with pliers while waiting for a dentist to open (because you definitely can't afford the emergency dentist). Then you can't get it removed because $$$ but the dentist can clean it out and stuff it full of antibiotics that break down slowly and that'll be fine for a few months, and hopefully you don't get another infection that then spreads to the rest of your jaw/head/brain. Deffo some first world poo poo over here while insurers make billions of dollars in profits. (I eventually got it out and fixed when I got my wisdom teeth out).

when I was poor and had no insurance it was about $100 for cleaning and I paid $1000 for a root canal from a lovely dentist that did a bad job and I ended up having to have it done again (don't remember the cost of the redo) I'm no longer poor so now I have good insurance and I'd pay $0 for both of those things in america having more money makes things cost less because it's a bad country that hates poor people

I remember one summer when I was young and my family was visiting our extended family back in Bulgaria and we had waited until then to get dental work done because even in post-Communist collapse Bulgaria people could and can get good dental work done for cheap. They had all the same equipment that the US dentists I went to did, too.

Chinatown posted:You get what you pay for apparently OP!!! This is literally it. It's utilitarian healthcare, you don't get the unnecessary cosmetic care that's normal in America. You can still have perfectly straight pearly whites if you payment for them but why bother when no one else does it and there's significantly less peer pressure and expectations to have a flawless gob?

Literally thousands of dollars over here in New York City. Best was getting dental insurance and the dentist office saying all good, I used up my lifetime deductible, and then the dental insurance company deciding lol no, not on us, so the dentist office had to chase us with a $2,000 bill. What the fuuuck.

I went for a routine cleaning a few months ago and paid like 1000 yen or something. Ironically Japanese people have the worst teeth in the world.

logikv9 posted:dental schools are good places to get stuff done cheap or free fyi This. I was friends with a few dental students and was able to get a bunch of stuff done basically free (preventative stuff like cleaning, xrays, and flouride treatment). Only thing is you have to look out for the young doctors in these places. Because they are usually working in a needy area for a low salary in exchange for getting some of their dental school loans paid, youll sometimes come across literal doctors suggesting fillings and things *that you might not need* so they can earn a little more money on the side at your expense. Yeah discovering that crushed my trust in medical professionals in the us

Dental is not covered by the Medicaid-funded poor person with mental illness insurance I am covered by. So like, multiple hundreds out of pocket if I ever had to go.

I haven’t been to the dentist even once in my adult life The closest thing is I used to bang this gal who went to dental nursing school and got some x days of my hosed up teeth, the instructor brought the whole class over to check out my hosed up grill they were all laughing and the gal said “and his dick is small” and they laughed even harder Former DILF has issued a correction as of 01:40 on May 21, 2019 |

I haven't been well over a decade since they told me my wisdom teeth were crowding my gums and crowns and fillings were coming loose. I've had that one dream where your teeth are all disintegrating and swirling into a whirlpool of purple garbage a few times.
