How to cheap cure your teeth in New York
America is famous for its expensive doctors and lawyers. Their services are among the most expensive in the States. Health insurance is not difficult to obtain or purchase, but it does not include dental services. This is a separate insurance. I didn’t have one at work, and I didn’t really want to spend $5000 on a dentist, so I started looking for something, writes Andrey Boychuk in an article for Immigrant porada.
I found a public dental office (to be honest, it wasn't me who found it, it was my wife) where you pay $15 per visit. Well, as a normal person, I, of course, went through all the options in my head: how reliable it is and, in general, whether this person knows how to treat teeth.
$ 15 for a visit to the dentist ?! This is not money at all if at least $ 200 is taken for the seal. By the way, by a visit to the doctor, I mean everything that needs to be done with one tooth (remove or treat).
My experience of visiting a state dentist
Only on the fourth visit they started treating my teeth there, because on the first they scanned, on the second there was a diagnosis and identification of problem teeth, on the third there was cleaning.
So I have already treated the 3 tooth and, like a guinea pig that always tries something new, I can easily say that community doctors are not very different from private ones, which, of course, are much more expensive.
The equipment is all new and modern (believe me, I know, because I go to the dentist like it’s a holiday). The dentists, although young, are professional. In short, I'm pleased. Therefore, if you do not have money or do not want to spend hundreds on these services, go to such a department in your area and get treated there.
