Are you happy with your dentist?

Haven't seen my dentist in a couple years, but my optometrist is charging $145 for my eye exam next week. Up from $110 or $120 a year ago.

Thankfully my dentist has been very good for many years.

Tooth implants are expensive. Try to see your dentist at least once a year. "A stitch in time saves nine..."

I know, I had a hemi-section, post, and crown done on one years ago. The result of having difficult wisdom teeth removed.

There are times when I know I need dental work because a tooth hurts or I chipped a tooth or a tooth cracked.

Then there are other times when I wonder whether work was actually needed.

You should have your teeth examined and cleaned at least once a year. Eye exams cost $80-90 at Costco.

Would I lie to you…?

Does Bob really do his own dental work, or is it a lie? (Funny as hell). This will be the best 7 minutes you spend today.

Interesting thread.

People complain about the long wait times when trying to see a publicly funded medical doctor.

When I have a toothache I call up my dentist office and can get an appointment the same week. If there is an emergency the same day. When I have an appointment to get my teeth cleaned at 9:00 I’m sitting in the chair by 9:00-9:05.

I’ve only switched dentists once during my working lifetime.

Op suggest you ask a co-workers for a referral. That’s how I landed on the I’m using now. As for fees my dentist charges according to the guide.

Of course it’s a business. Does anyone actually believe dentist gets into this for altruism. And yes in some case they can and do charge some patients less because of that person’s economic situation. I’m okay to contribute to the dental care because some fucktard abandoned a woman with kids; thankfully kids now get free dental care (I think).
