The fuck?

A normal root canal is around $500 $600 and that's a lot... My mother had one a few years ago, pretty sure it was around $100 - $300. I've never heard of a RC costing THAT much.
 
Flossing is one of the best things you can do for your teeth and gums. Ask me how I know :(
 
Damn 1k that sucks.

I had 4 wisdom teeth taken out earlier this year...bill came out to $2,500.

I paid nothing out of pocket and my health insurance from my job covered everything :)
 
funny every tooth that i had a root canal and crown on i had to have pulled 5 years later. dentistry is racket...
 
Where do you live? My jerk-off dentist quoted me $1200 for a crown. Hungary is the dental capital of the world. The best! Stalin designated that area to be where all Russian leaders get their teeth taken care of. Very cheap. And extremely beautiful. One dentist picks you up at the airport in Vienna and drives you to a wonderful city on the Danube where Franz Lizst lived awrote music. All for 1/3 rd of what they charge in USA. Go there...Google Hungarian dentists. Costa Rica is very cheap too!!
 
Well stuff like that is less thinkable in most european countries, full health insurance for everyone by law.

Well, excuse us Mr Europe.

1) In case you don't follow the news SOME of us in the US are TRYING to remedy that situation. So go blow

and

2) MANY countries with national health do NOT cover dental. So again, stick it

We're in a fight against a multi-billion dollar industry that's managed to convince people that if we get health care reform the government will force their grandmothers to marry gay illegal mexican abortionists right before they have granny ripped apart by rabid dogs. So stuff your attitude. We have enough problems without your holier-than-thou pronouncements.

Oh, and BTW, in many countries the conservatives kicked and screamed as loudly as they are doing here right now when faced with universal care.
But your fascists have always been a lot scarier than ours, so I guess we'll get it done eventually.

oh and europe ownz ;)
 
Common myth that dental decay is caused by not brushing your teeth. Research the work of Dr. Weston Price, who ran the ADA before it was the ADA. He went around the world and studied the teeth or aboriginal populations, especially those who had recently adopted civilization.

Most dental caries are caused by genetics and the modern western diet.
 
I need 2 root canals and that video made me not as scared :)

It's too bad the dentist I go to sucks though, barely speaks english and does a half ass job. Wait.. I haven't been there in months.. bastard.
 
That is the reason this guys ride fabulous rides, as well as lawyers etc.
My country has state sponsored health care, but it sucks so much that you have to get your own dentist...which will rip you off like this guy did.
Once I went to very "famous" dentist, for regular control. BEFORE I even showed my teeth, this guy was trying to sell me braces for 3k EUR! Can you imagine that? I waitied for him to finish, without letting out a word (some 45 minutes of his time) and said: "I just came for control". The guy was so pissed that we didn't want to do anything with me any more.
 
ticket from singapore to india : $300
Dental crown / root in India: $100
Stay in India for a week at a swell place: $500
Drinking money: $200

Total: $1100 = see a new country, live it up - tell a few stories : )
 
for heaven sakes, man! BE THANKFUL you had the money! if there is ANYTHING worth the money its your teeth! and you wont have to go in debt! you must be very young. not only are they a key to a healthy body AND your looks they will last for years. but yes, dental checkups and cleanings are very important.
