    Having had issues recently with being “out-of-network” at one dentist, I can say that these prices are very close to what it costs for underinsured dental visits in the US.

      Kind of depending on how new the currency is to her. For example a kid going into adulthood will be shocked to see how much money things can cost. A person from a different country may also be shocked by how little or how much 1 dollar in their currency. Which makes understanding weather you have more or less then average difficult.
      At a point of learning this basic understandment of how much money is- you just give up and analize and ask questions like "well what is average for this?" "Why is it that much?" "How much more is this to this?"

      Last year, my filling fell out. No idea where it went. So went to the dentist to have it done again. Middle of covid lockdown. I had to get an appointment. Three weeks away (without lockdown, it's just walk in). I scrupulously brushed after every meal to keep my mouth clean. Yes there is a hole, but if there is no food, it wouldn't grow bigger.
      All she did was to clean it out a bit, pushed in the material, then cure it with UV. Don't chew on it, soft food for a day. All I could think of was you don't need 4 years of school and 3 years training to do this. Dentists are overtrained and/or underutilized. We should have a lower grade of dental techs, trained for a month, who can do all this.
      While I was there, she checked all my teeth. It's fine, except she told me to brush twice a day instead of once. :-)
      Total cost? $2. In the local currency. That's about 45 US cents. Yeah. Gov clinic. Subsidized. Did I mentioned I live in a third world country? Just to put things in focus, median salary is about $3000 a month. $2 at the clinic is just "registration fee", per visit. Covers everything (scaling, fillings, pulling teeth, etc) except dentures ($30 per set) and complex surgery (varies).
      PS: my mom doesn't trust the gov clinics. I don't know why. Everything cheap and gov subsidized is low quality? Anyway, she went to a private dentist. $150 per filling per tooth, said the price list. That's about US$45. That's 125% of one day's median salary.
      Is median salary in the US, let's see .... $700 ÷ 1.25 x 25 ... about $168k a year?

      Idk about US prices, but I had a big cavity on my molar caused by a wisdom tooth that was stuck and couldn't get out completely so I had to extract it, got 3 stitches and the dentist completely reconstructed esthetically my molar and not just flat filled it up, so I was there twice and both sessions lasted around an hour and the total cost was € 330 (around $ 350 or slightly more or less due to exchange fluctuation). I'm Italian and I went to great young dentist in his thirties that even partially specialized in New York, so his studio is really on top notch with all the latest techniques.

      place and my dentist back in the US had to redo it. I can also share some comical stories about taking my friend to the hospital there. I like India's healthcare for being great value, but the quality can't compare to the West. I imagine the top-tier places in India are quite good quality, but their prices would make them inaccessible to those making an average Indian salary.

Many people from abroad, especially Arab countries, come to India for medical treatment. I personally love the affordability and quality. I don't have insurance and so far, I don't need it. Indian hospitals such as AIIMS, Fortis, Apollo, Aster, etc are world renown. I've heard only good things about the hospitals from westerners who've undergone treatment here. So I highly recommend AIIMS and private Indian hospitals to all.

      Honestly as a US citizen this is cheap 😢 And that's why I typically avoid medical care. But it does vary a lot. For example an average income can pay nothing for a procedure but since we make above average we'd pay $5k for the same thing. So if you make more money you can really get screwed with how much you owe and honestly end up with less money than people who work less hours & make less.

      I did an examination, full cleaning, an x ray (turns out the pain is just a wisdom tooth growing sideways) and a tooth filling. Cost me 80€ in total and it could've been free if I was willing to wait (or, y know, if I had decided to go to the dentist any time in the past 5 years).

      I mean it‘s better than paying 52% taxes as a average citizen in Europe and not even getting the dental cleansing for free. But the best system in my opinion is the Swiss or UK system, which relies on taxes to cover basic human needs, but not much more. In Switzerland, the average citizen spends around 22% in taxes.

Try doing better than minimum wage and maybe even get a job with some dental and health insurance unless your iq is just that low that your forever doomed to minimum wage

    Personally for me when I went to the dentist and got a filling it was only around $180 and that included the Novocain and laughing gas that they gave me. The appointment was around 45 minutes long but to be fair it was a dentist for 18 and younger.

    • @daffyduk77
      @daffyduk77 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've never needed laughing gas for a filling, on one occasion it took 3 successive jabs before it was nice & numb, about $50 here all-in, on NHS, I pay my taxes as well of course. And that covers any number of fillings at one course of treatment. Has to be said that fewer dentists offer NHS dentistry, private costs a lot more, still nothing like USA. In some areas it can be hard to sign on for NHS dentist

Then my insurance covered $1,000 for a root and scaling of my gums which included the total cost for the annual teeth cleaning procedure which calculates to a total of $7,180. Overall I considered the price to be reasonable but definitely not the most cost effective total.

    As an Indian my bill came to 2300 rupees which is 32 USD. And that included one Xray, cleaning, one filling, polishing a couple of older fillings. This is insanely expensive.
