Please stop saying dental care is expensive!

2 days ago a friend spent more than 5000 to get a brand new tooth because a corner of the incisor was missing. When another friend found out, she immediately stared at him and said, “That’s expensive! How can you afford to spend so much money on a tooth?” When this friend shouted, my friend who did the dental work also felt that it was not worth spending all that money on a tooth. I really can’t stand to see them this kind of displaced view of consumption, I can’t help but ask: “You can spend more than 2,000 yuan a month to buy skin care products, nearly 10,000 yuan of LV bags you don’t blink to buy several, last time also told me to go to more than 6,000 yuan of IPHONE6, your a tooth is not better than these? ” I asked this, they are stunned. They immediately realized a funny fact, that is, they have been spending a lot of money on nothing but skin care products, cell phones, bags, clothing, cars …… these external material, but for their own body investment is very little. In their subconscious, spend hundreds of dollars to buy health food to eat, so expensive; spend thousands of dollars to do a full body checkup, so expensive; spend thousands of dollars or even tens of thousands of dollars to do a dental, which is simply crazy! Please, the teeth are growing in your mouth, the importance is not less than your heart, kidneys ah! So I immediately and they calculated an account, a seasonal clothing, a year to wear 7-8 times will be tired, the new cell phone with less than a year want to change, nearly 10,000 yuan of bags most of the time are lying in the closet, so a mouth of teeth, but 365 days a day, three meals a day who can not be separated from them, so a calculation, do not know how much more cost-effective dental. Of course, the old ladies without teeth they can still wear dentures to eat, but peanuts, walnuts, crabs, melon seeds, ribs, beef, these basic is not with them. A friend of mine’s grandmother, wearing dentures for 5-6 years, told us that now eat three meals are tasteless, before not properly protect the teeth, the teeth are broken, do not repair, do not mend, let it grow on its own, now no teeth, but envy others have a good tooth. So, life is just a few decades, do not wait to lose before you know how to cherish. I went to the dentist two years ago because of toothache, and made a very good dentist friend, from her, I realized the importance of teeth in advance, so every year I will take time to do oral examination even if I am busy, early filling of tooth decay, early treatment of gingivitis, don’t wait until periodontitis and then seek treatment for loose teeth, but there are still many people who don’t bother to enter the oral clinic, usually full of mouth is calculus before they want to go This is extremely irresponsible to the teeth. Now, if I meet parents who take their children to do orthodontics, I will tell them that orthodontics is a lifelong matter for children, rather early than late, do not gouge on the price. A pair of orthodontic braces, the cost may only be a thousand or eight hundred (imported must be more expensive, but also divided into different brands and efficacy) but in first-tier city dental offices, orthodontic fees are usually tens of thousands of dollars or more, so many people complain, orthodontic teeth how so expensive? If you compare it to your daily living expenses, it does seem a bit expensive. But teeth are for life, and orthodontics is working on your teeth or your child’s teeth, it will take at least 1-2 years, and the doctor will follow you and your child step by step to straighten the messy teeth to your satisfaction, the time and effort spent during this period, is not worth the$8,000? If you want, you can also get a dental license, practice for three to five years, and then spend 1-2 years to help people get their teeth straight, and kick the$8,000 in your pocket. Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn’t want to, the dentist’s work is too trivial and too hard, maybe earning more, but it’s not for me. I often saw my dentist friend spend a long time patiently explaining to customers, work overtime, and sometimes be counted and complained by customers, and most new customers almost all unanimously dislike the expensive. At that time, I wondered: when I went to a luxury store to buy handbags and clothes, why did everyone not mind the price? When you buy a car, you have to take care of it regularly, and when you buy a pair of shoes, you have to brush the shoe polish, so why do you think it is too expensive when you have to fix your teeth? Many people say: “The dental hospital is too profitable!” Is it? Then I’m here to do the math – open an independent dental hospital annual rent of millions, decorated a little better (so that people are more comfortable when doing dental), then it is hundreds of thousands, buy good dental chairs oral equipment and so on casually also millions, plus annual advertising expenses of hundreds of thousands (now there is which profitable hospital did not Advertising), in addition to this, there are business taxation, management costs, utilities and so on, of course, there is a large amount of oral material costs, if in accordance with your consumption standards to pricing, then those a front desk consulting, nurses, doctors do not just all drink the northwest wind to go, will also owe a debt. In short, the dental hospital is a profitable institution, not a charity, even if it is a public hospital dental department, but also to pursue the benefits. In the long chain of interests in the dental industry, cut off any link, we can not enjoy the high quality of oral services. And this decision is entirely in your hands, because MONEY in your pocket. Do not say cross-city, say the same city, you want to find a lower fee in line with your view of consumption of small dental do dental, it is not difficult. But you will be too afraid to go there poor environment, poor hygiene, poor conditions, doctors do not look professional, no security later, and so on, or do not care to go. As an ordinary consumer, who want to well-decorated, clean environment, hygiene guarantee dental hospital to enjoy the services of regular oral surgeons, but the premise is that you must pay for its added value, if you can not afford its extra “expensive”, and how to enjoy its extra “quality “it? Once a friend spent more than 60,000 to do a mouthful of all-porcelain teeth, after doing really beautiful, the previous spots of fluoride teeth into a neat and white teeth, the whole person smiling bright and beautiful. But 60,000 yuan ah, at the time equivalent to her annual income, who knows she told us with a smile: “a heart attack to the hospital a pacemaker, know to buy imported, with a long time, I did not grow this tooth in the mouth of others, each one is their own, I also point to it for life to eat and drink it, do I have to spend a random stall price to send themselves ah. ” Once she finished, the crowd smiled. Around a colleague saw her change, also want to go to do dental. But after running to several regular dental hospitals, as soon as they heard the quotation, they ran away. Later, a small dental clinic to find a cheap all-porcelain teeth, at first also smug, think they picked up a big bargain. But the good times do not last, a full porcelain teeth have 2 unexplained loss, sticky 2-3 times, and then the teeth began to pain, because of technical problems, bonding gaps, food residue to run teeth inside the inflammation. Now I don’t know how many times I had to negotiate with the dental clinic about the follow-up treatment cost, not to mention my own suffering. So, don’t mind doing dental expensive, sometimes we prefer to be more expensive, rather than to endure the “cheap” endless consequences, accidentally ruined their own teeth. Here, I also do not mean to belittle small dental, they are in accordance with their own configuration and technical strength to price, earn the appropriate fee, there is nothing wrong! What is wrong is that people who go to spend money set their expectations too high and think that the operating costs of small dentistry are too low. So whenever I meet friends who want cosmetic dentistry, I tell them tongue-in-cheek, “If you think your teeth are too ugly and unsightly, then pick a good hospital and a good doctor to redeem them and bear a reasonably high price, or you’ll have to pile up a table of tributes and ask God for help.” I once saw a customer in my friend’s office who came in for a dental implant and was torn over the price for a long time. I went over to him and kindly said, “Sir, if you are so torn about the price, then I will help you convince my friend to let her sell you the implant at cost, and you will find a reliable implantologist to plant it for you, so you can probably save a lot of money!” He blushed and couldn’t say anything, but then he paid for the implants. In fact, I didn’t mean to embarrass him, I just hope he can understand that the value standard of the oral cavity is far from the material, it lies in what kind of hospital you choose, what kind of doctor you choose, and what kind of follow-up service and guarantee you need. So, please ask him to stop saying that dental work is expensive! At the same time, I also hope that all people who think dental work is expensive will cherish their teeth and love them, because after the replacement of milk teeth, people only have one set of teeth in their life.
