•Why Putting Your Dental Care Off is an Expensive Choice or Why Visiting a Dentist is expensive or so you thought:

📌There are a number of reasons why dental procedures are so expensive. First, services are performed by trained professionals. Dentists are doctors who go through many years of college, dental school and specialized training. Like many other professionals -- lawyers, medical doctors, accountants, expert mechanics etc. -- dental services are priced accordingly.

📌Dental care is not a commodity. It’s not laundry detergent or breakfast cereal or wireless minutes you could bargain the price off. Dentists give reasonable discounts yes!

📌Dentistry is a professional service that’s both art and a science. They spend time doing the best they can to cater you satisfactorily services.

📌Overhead costs are huge. Anywhere from 60% to 80% of what a patient pays goes toward the expense of running a modern dental practice. Dentists pay for rent or mortgage payments on their office space, payroll for hygienists, office managers and receptionists, health insurance, taxes, dental supplies and machines, business insurance and technology -- just to name a few. A lot of people would be surprised to know how tight the profit margins are.

📌The big boys, of course, play with big toys. The tools on hand at a general dentistry practice include highly specialized equipment that is not only pricey to purchase, but also to maintain.

📌Laboratories differ in the quality of the products they produce. We all want our dentists to be using high-quality labs for things like crowns and dentures and the like. Should we have to ask about the labs? No. We should trust our dentists to select a good one.

📌In dentists' view, you always want to use a good lab, because if the crown breaks, The doctor's the one stuck redoing the thing for another hour and a half for free. It’s important to make sure He/she is putting good stuff in people’s mouths, because the last thing anyone wants to deal with is a redo. It doesn’t make a doctor look good, the patients get angry, insurance doesn’t cover it, and it’s a waste of time. The dentist wants to do a good job.

📌Dentists spend on purchasing quality products and instruments too! (Imagine a china brand phone and an apple phone or any same products with the same use but with different brands, one you used for a day or three and the other one you're using for long periods of time already. See the logic?)

📌Insurance isn’t really insurance. Dental insurance, the dentists told me, is nothing like health insurance or auto insurance. It’s a maintenance plan that will cover cleanings and x-rays, maybe half the cost of a crown. It will not protect you if you need a lot of work done.

📌Dentists wish patients would value their teeth more. Teeth are a crucial part of health and appearance. Untreated gum disease, for instance, is linked to heart disease. (Would you choose a cardiologist based on price?) “With time, you will come to realize that shopping price is a minor concern when it comes to your health. Any minor cost differences amortized out over a lifetime will become insignificant. You will get the best results and have the most long-term satisfaction getting care from someone you trust.

📌Going to the dentist isn’t on the top of everyone’s list, but there are a few reasons why it’s an important choice to make the trip at least a couple of times each year.

📌Catching dental problems early means it’s more affordable to correct them. In some cases they may even be completely reversible on your own! Early decay starts out as demineralized enamel that is usually only treated with fluoride. But, if you wait too long, that demineralization turns into a cavity.

📌Treating your cavities or broken teeth should be done as early as possible. Otherwise the tooth structure continues to break down and decay, causing a larger portion of the tooth to be compromised. What is only a filling on one day may become a root canal and a crown a few months later.

📌Comfort is something that a good dentist will take seriously. Even if you’re nervous about having dental work done, there are ways to help calm your nerves and enjoy a positive experience.

📌BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, For those who'd rather not spend an arm and a leg to keep their teeth healthy, there are no better weapons in the fight against exorbitant dental costs than your toothbrush, floss and regular professional cleanings and check ups."
