The Dentist Is Flipping Expensive

[Rat Faced]

.... why the big stereotype of Brits having horrible teeth?

Not seen that one.. but i bet they arent as bad as Red Necks n Hillbillies

Since most of you Brits seems to have good dental insurance and don’t have to pay for visits why the big stereotype of Brits having horrible teeth?

I never knew we had that stereotype?

Hey Bigbank has having your wisdom teeth made any noticable difference to your IQ

[DarthInsinuate]

dentists are rip-off artists (kicks them in shin and runs away), you only think you need teeth because they tell you you do. Babys get on fine without them

Absolutely.

Today I ordered a correspondence course on dentistry so that I can get in on some of that money that I’m missing out on.

Me mam knows teh Dentist so i get it all done for free

Last time i went for 3 fillings he even gave me 'white fillings' so you can nay see them

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield, which is a major insurance carrier, and they told me that they don’t offer dental insurance. So I asked them whom they could refer me to and the guy told me that they don’t recommend anyone. Thanks a lot.

Damn!!! $2000??

I have Aetna DMO. I had my 4 wisdoms removed and paid $100 to the oral surgeon.

I get teeth cleanings every 6 months for free.

My only cavity (cause of that fucking impacted wisdom tooth) was filled for free.

How many cavities/fillings do you have?

You should have gotten dental coverage when you found you had to have your the wisdoms taken out. There's no pre-existing clause for dental insurance. The only reason I got mine taken out was 'cause of one small cavity (I'm still kinda salty about that).

Also get a Sonicare toothbrush and floss.

The trick is going every 6 months , I'll admit my plan was used up on two major problems this year because I did n't go the year before . If I went in twice in 2004 I would have been fine . Does as your moms says .





Wife has a new job so I can double dip now too , thank god because the youngest needs braces .

Previous to my last teeth cleaning, I hadn't gone in 2 years.

I have one small cavity due to crap getting caught around an impacted tooth.


The fact is people don't take care of their teeth sans the dentist.

Many don't brush after meals.
They go to sleep at night without brushing which is absolutely horrible on your teeth. Your mouth doesn't move as much and the cavity creeps can get to work unencumbered.
People don't floss for shit and end having bleeding gums. One should be able to mildly fingernail the gum line without a hint of blood. If your gums are bleeding, fuck the cavities, your teeth will just fall the fuck out.
People don't brush properly or long enough. Regular brushing should tak 5 minutes. (with my Sonicare, it's 2 minutes)

It's sounds like folks in the UK have free dental care yet there exists the stereotype of horrible teeth there (like their mouths got hit with a bag of coins) along with archaic dentistry.
