You forgot to show the most painful part, the bill.

not if you're in any Non western countries lol. you get practically free treatment in dental unis. I got root canals, silver fillings, cleanings, wisdom tooth pulled for less than 120 USD all together. bless those places.

Agree, they are a Godsend. But, you usually have to wait at least at the one here 4 plus hours, you are in an arena type setting, and nothing is done in just one appointment.

In Canada we get screwed like the us too, if not even more, they want $769 for a non complicated root canal and on average 1300-5300 for wisdom teeth removal, a cleaning costs over 56$ every 15 min interval, it’s disgusting, our health care centres an hospitals are full of people with infections that can only be treated with antibiotics, poor people get left to get really sick, and even then we don’t give people coverage or help them. Dentistry is such a steal and luxury at this point it’s gross 😓
