Does anyone think that dentists are charging just way to much?!


Question: Does anyone think that dentists are charging just way to much!?
I mean it's just getting to the point I think where it's ridiculous, I went in for a little tiny tooth that the dentist gave me a temporary filling and that cost almost $300 and then he said that he would see me back in a couple of weeks, it's almost like they have a secret community ( im kidding of course ) but what are they using that could possibly cost so much!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I don't really know what they use that cost so much !? But I do believe that they buy it in five gallon buckets,for like $50!.00 dollar's and that they charge us about $ 40!.00 for about 20cc' of that what ever !? And they make a killing from it!.
It's just like the Hospitals that charge us $ 5!.00 for a freaking band-aid ! I sh*t you not !. When I was in the hospital for 30 day's my bill was just a little over $127,000 dollars ! And it wasn't mine to keep !? After my 30 day's in there ,I was put in a wheel chair and pushed out-side to my awaiting ride ! And they never said come back and see us sometime ! That really sucks big time !.
Mike G!. why are you coming down so hard on my lady !? Don't go try putting her down ! Just who the hell are you !? In my book your nothing but someone born with a silver spoon up your as* when you was born,and in return that makes you an A**-Hole ! And do you think I could give a flying (F) about poor grammar !? So log on to another site for smart and highly educated a**-holes ! And lay of my lady friend !.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The problem isn't really your dentist!. Keep this in mind:

1!.) College Prices!. Most people complain about the ridiculous cost for 4 years of college!. Your dentist had to go through eight!. In 2006, dentists graduated with an average of about $130,000 of debt!.

2!.) Malpractice Insurance can range anywhere from $15,000 to $50,000 a year, depending on the work the dentist does!.

3!.) Dealing with a patient's insurance company has become so time consuming (it's in the insurance company's interest to make it difficult to file a claim for reimbursement) that it is impossible to function with either one or two assistants to handle them!. They have salaries they need to paid as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In about 10 years dental fees have gone up about 300% but wages and salaries have gone up very much less!. Presumably, increases in dental charges should match inreases in wages and salaries!.

The cost of dental treatment is now so ridiculously high that lots of people just skip it and live with their dental problems as the treatment costs are exorbitant!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that because a lot of people are now having cosmetic services done and not really visiting unless theres a prob like toothache that the price has shot up and especially in my country (U!.K) our national health service has had a huge shake up and some people are reported to have pulled teeth out themselves as they could not afford the treatment!. They are a law un to themselves until the gov or who ever set a service to watch over them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In answer to your question, without attacking your education, grammar or how long you've been typing for, the fee does seem high!.!.!. do you know what the breakdown is!? Exam, xray and a temp/sedative filling in my office would run you $99!.!.!.!. maybe something else was done in addition to that!?

Find the receipt for the visit and look at how the visit totaled $300!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Good question!. What I do know is, getting insurance to cover dental work is practically impossible!. You can have a heart bypass easier than dental work!. Dentists arent going to tell you what costs so much, but if you ever find out-please let me know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe if you were half as educated as your dentist is, you'd understand!. Professionals deserve professional remuneration!.

Judging by your bad grammar: "!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.just way TOO much!?" I can see that you aren't anywhere near his level of training!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They certainly are in the UK even with National Health considerationsWww@Answer-Health@Com
