To be fair, dental is worse in other countries that I’ve lived in. I paid the same in Italy as I would have paid here, and it took me a year to get into dentist on the NHS in the UK, so I paid out of pocket there too. Oh In Italy, I had to pay cash to get that price and the dentist were definitely not as advanced as we have here. No one in Italy is making crowns in the back with 3d printers, like my dentist here does.
