Why the FUCK would you do that?

My Dentist is super chill and nice. He gives me great treatment and sometimes gives me fillings that would cost 80€ for free. We all call us by our first name (Me, the Dentist and his Dentist Assistants) and are just vibing. I would feel so much shame if I break something at his office for the sake of goofing around for a video.

It depends on the Filling there's a free version and one you pay 80€. Health Insurance covers it for me. Doesn't yours does it?

In the United States, health insurance does not cover dental procedures. You have to get dental insurance for that. Both of those types of insurance are through companies who don't want you to get any work done so that they don't have to pay anything and can profit more. It's a terrible system.

So would you rather want to pay 16% of your salary?
