We live in a capitalist dystopia - LemmyWorld

Remember: bones are luxury teeth.

Fun fact: for my family’s insurance, it is $106/mo to pay for dental. I get access to two cleanings a year, plus 50% of billed expenses up to $1000. What is even the point?

I had to take a legit loan, open a line of credit, to get my first dental procedure done. It was one of my first times getting into the world of credit.

And all it was was a deep cleaning. But with insurance, they were charging $2,200.

Dentists have left a bad taste in my mouth ever since.
