A few hundred dollars for a tooth, a million dollars for a tooth, and a half-year salary for a tooth: why is it so expensive
Have you ever had that experience
Tooth hurts for days and can't afford to enter the clinic。
Ask the price, it's cold on the spot。
Take a few hundred big brain teeth and fill a thousand pieces of teeth。
I'll grow more than 10,000 teeth, 30,000 teeth。
I went to see it. I lost half a month's pay。
Many wonder:
Isn't that just some teeth in your mouth
Why can't it cost you so much
You think you're looking at tooth price. You're actually paying the delay tax
Many people find their teeth expensive, half because they dragged them out。
Tooth problems are always more expensive。
It's just a little black spot when you've got teeth。
Go to the hospital and fix it。
You're in trouble. You think "toothache is not a disease" and you can't wait。
It's so bad that i can't sleep。
Then we'll have to do root tube therapy。
One tooth is a thousand years old。
You're gonna need a tooth crown when you're done with your teeth。
Hundreds to thousands more。
You can't keep your crown if you drag it again. The whole tooth is dead。
Finally, we'll just have to pull it out and grow a new one。
The price went from hundreds to tens of thousands。
From millions to tens of thousands, it's not the material that's bad, it's the time you drag off。
The most expensive dentist in the world is always "wait till you're free."。
Where are the different projects
A lot of people feel they're making a fortune with their teeth and they think hospitals are charging fees。
In fact, there are real costs where every project is expensive。
Tooth extraction: it's not as simple as a plier
You think pulling teeth is the doctor pulling the clamps
Normal loose teeth are simple。
But if it's a long stench, it's a little surgery。
You have to cut your teeth, flip your petals, grind some bones。
Cut your teeth off and sew them up。
You have to disinfect, you have to insinuate, you have to avoid the nerve of your teeth。
You're the one who got the wrong doctor, pulled out the teeth and hurt the nerves。
You paid hundreds of dollars for that tooth that wasn't pulled out。
It is the firmness of the hands of the doctors over the years and the certainty of the lesser suffering after the surgery。
Teeth: how can you collect hundreds of dollars of material
And it was said, "how can you collect me hundreds of dollars from a small tube of filling?"
Let me ask you:
Can you do your own surgery
The filling isn't just putting the material in the hole。
First, the rotting teeth will continue to rot。
To protect your teeth, you can't drill。
To adjust the bites, to make up for the food pain, to make up for it。
And then you have to polish it and avoid hiding dirty things。
It's a few minutes, depending on the precision of the doctor's hand。
It's just a few millimeters away。
The money you paid for was doctor's technology, not that material。
Growing teeth: where does a tooth cost millions
It's a "soft-price project" in the eyes of many。
A tooth is worth thousands, more than gold。
It's expensive, first and foremost historical debt。
In earlier years, the good crops were imported。
Foreign brands hold patents, and pricing rights are in their hands。
From the plant to the agent, to the hospital terminal。
The floor price increases are not cheap to the patient。
The two years of harvests have cost half of the plants, but not all of them。
It's not as simple as "stuffing nails in the bones" because it's not like growing teeth。
Cbct is to be filmed before the operation to see the thickness, density of the tooth tank and avoid the neurovascular。
Surgery requires precision implantation, with no angle at all, or it will fall off in a few years。
If the bone size is insufficient, it will have to be replanted and refilled at a further cost。
It would take at least five or six years for a mature grower to work independently。
Senior doctors are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and the human costs are spread across each tooth。
Teeth corrections: tens of thousands of braces at what cost
A lot of people complain: invisible teeth are plastic. Why would they sell thousands
If that's what you think, you're too amateur。
The money for correction was never spent on teeth。
The first is programme design。
Take a panorama, head side tablet, take a tooth model。
Counts the angle, direction, distance of each tooth。
It's got to be full teeth, and it's got to be adjusted to look pretty。
A scalable programme, based on the experience of doctors for more than a decade。
It's wrong, it's worse。
This is followed by one or two years of re-diagnosis。
This is reviewed once a month and each increase is subject to precision control。
It's not working。
As for invisibility braces, dozens of teeth are custom 3d-printed, one by one。
Research and development, modelling and production are all costs。
Not to mention the fact that there's not a lot of complicated doctors in the country。
It's scarce, it's natural。
Why is the whole industry expensive? The bottom logic is here
1. Oral doctors are too lacking, and the training cycle has grown to anomalous
A dentist can see a doctor if he doesn't graduate。
Five years of undergraduate + three years of training and eight years of independent practice。
It's three to five years to grow。
A specialist who can be a one-sided doctor with a training cycle of over 10 years。
There are now only two dentists for every 10,000 in the country。
Senior growers, orthodox doctors and even more scarce resources。
The cost of manpower is the largest cost of clinics。
2. High-end materials caught in the neck and national production just caught up
A few decades ago, we couldn't build decent dental materials。
High-end growers, stairwells, whole china crowns are imported。
International giants rely on patent monopoly markets and pricing is the rule。
Domestic materials have slowly risen over the years and prices have fallen considerably。
High-end markets, however, are dominated by import brands。
The technical bills are still being paid。
3. Clinics are small and operating costs are staggeringly high
Don't think the dental clinic has just a few chairs at low cost。
A cbct for hundreds of thousands, a therapeutic chair for tens of thousands。
Sterilization equipment, sterile materials, and samples cannot be saved。
Plus the rent for the core business, staff salaries, marketing costs。
Open the door one day, and tens of thousands of dollars goes out。
This money will end up in every treatment fee。
Health insurance only covers medical treatment and beauty repairs are entirely self-financed
Many people ask, "why can't we go to health care?"
Not all of them。
A portion of the health insurance coverage is provided for the extraction of teeth, filling of teeth, root tube treatment of these "cares"。
But they grow teeth, orthodontics, whole china crowns and white teeth。
It's either a prosthetic or a beauty class, not basic medicine。
It's entirely self-financed and not subject to medical insurance。
Prices are determined by the market, and naturally they are not。
How can ordinary people spend less on their teeth
That's not to justify the high price。
It's about making it clear that teeth are expensive。
For us ordinary people, the most economical approach is always prevention。
Here's four real suggestions:
1. Don ' t drag! Don ' t drag away the teeth, the tooth pains, the hundreds of things that can be solved, and don ' t drag to tens of thousands。
2. It is cheaper to wash teeth once a year at $2,300 to prevent dental problems and keep them。
3. The selection of projects follows imports blindly, and the materials produced in the country are now mature and far more expensive。
4. Interviews must be conducted at “full price” and the costs of examination, re-examination and follow-up must be clear, so as not to be subject to low price。
Teeth are the most easily neglected organs of the body。
If you do it, it will retaliate in the most painful way, at the most expensive price。
Brush your teeth, check them regularly, and don't think about it until it's too painful。
After all, keeping a good tooth is keeping your money bag。
