How much dose a lawyer charge you, or a shrink, sorry but that's the way it is. How much is a office call to see a dr If you have no insurance and how long do they see you 5 min tops. At $75 a pop for a 5 min talk not to bad. Dentist are no different. As my wife says doctors and dentist forgot why they became doctors and dentist to help people. But the world is not like that anymore it all about the $$$$$. And there is not a thing we can do about it.

I don't need a lawyer, nor a shrink! I wasn't raised to need either one of those.
That is NOT the way it is! That's BS...& it is like that because people are passive about it. Stop paying these ridiculous amounts, and it will stop costing that much. Like when selling a house, you overprice it, and it will sit on the market.

It's a RIP OFF! FRAUD. They ONLY get away with it because people continue to swallow it.

Well, if you have a bad toothache were are you going to go? You will pay anything to get rid of the pain. And what are you going to do when you smile and have big gaps in your mouth how attractive is that if you are trying to get a date. Or how are you going to chew your food. Are you going to blend it like baby food. So pay the piper or go around in pain or toothless.

Rip off and fraud. That seems to be a regular occurrence/theme for you.

Private dental schools charge anywhere between $300,000 to 350,000 to make you a full-fledged dentist. This of course does not include all the miscellaneous expenditure that one will incur such as equipment, living expenses, books and so forth. The basic educational requirements include Chemistry (including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and biochemistry), Mathematics (especially calculus),
Physics (especially classical physics), Biological science (especially vertebrate zoology), Psychology

The average dentist earns about $100,000 a year and for dentist specializing in a particular field they can make an average yearly income of about $200,000. It takes 4 years of dental school in addition to college.

And you have the nerve to complain. Sheesh.........

Nope. I wouldn't pay "anything" to get rid of it. I would take pain killers. I've have bad tooth aches, and I got used to them. I don't need a date, I'm married...I am not going to be taken advantage off and pay someone else's loans. I will get dental work done in another country before paying these ridiculous fees. With what I pay here, I could travel to a beautiful place, get the work done and still have money left over! Shoot two birds! I refuse to pay their fees here because they are a RIP OFF. I rather be toothless than pay these fees.

I don't care. Nowhere else in the world they charge these fees, and they still have to go to school there too to become dentists. Please don't give me this bullcrap. Not buying.

Have u actually priced dental care in other countries or are you just assuming?

Do you get dental care for your children?

If you had gingivitis or peiodontitis would you just live with it?

The assumption that we have the best dental care here in America is really obnoxious! Mexico is NOT a 3rd world country and neither is Canada!
Your comment is really embarrassing!

Go to Canada first get a passport then spend allot of money for a plane ticket get a room. You will spend more money than having it done here. Why your at it move there then you will have nothing to complain about American dental and medical care. Get on Canada's health plan. Just take I75 north when you get to Detroit take the Ambssador bridge to Windsor Ontario.
