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.

80 for a filling?!?! I just paid 400 in the U.S.

Canadian here. It's about $200 for a filling, but 80% coverage is pretty common. Also discounts for children, so I think my childs one ended up costing about $20 Canadian ($14 USD).

Yup before I had insurance it was about $200 for a filing and $1200 for a root canal. I just had a dental cleaning and paid $2 and the Canada Dental Care Plan insurance covered the rest. I had a root canal and it was only about $300 with insurance.

Maybe they paid $400 USD because they had a dental emergency. I know that doubles the cost. An emergency dental filing could easily cost over $400 with xrays.
