How much does your dentist charge for a white tooth filling?

@CrazyMusicLover Yeah, true, like accidents - it's just a different way of delivering a healthcare system.

@jomsim Our insurance companies used to fully cover amalgam fillings. I don't know if they still do though. Dentists rarely use them nowadays anyway.

@CrazyMusicLover I don't think we do them here, either, but I think they might have been £30 or something. If you get a couple in your life then £1 per year insurance covers the £60 cost. If you pay more than £1 per year for dental only, someone's making a profit, though! I'd rather pay the £60 out of my own pocket and not make insurance payments.

@CrazyMusicLover [c=#359E00]maybe they charge a lot to quickly return their investment when they attend medical college[/c] 🤦‍♀️

@YukikoAmagi Hehe, they went out of college long ago. I've been going to this dentist since I was a child.

@CrazyMusicLover [c=#359E00] you're a loyal customer[/c] 😄 [c=#359E00]i have doctor that i trust since i was a teen too, i visit him whenever i got sick[/c]

@MellyMel22 Yeah, I remember they were more expensive in the past. I don't know if it's still true but I heard that the insurance fully covered amalgam filling, while composite was fully covered by a patient, where I live. Nowadays are amalgam fillings banned for kids younger than 15 and they are used rarely in general, so everyone has to pay.

@Newfound What is Wong?

@bijouxbroussard 😵 Why so much?! I don't understand.

@CrazyMusicLover Sorry, I misread. That’s what a [b]crown[/b] costs here. And this dentist is in network. The monthly premium for Cigna on my plan is $3.00, and cleanings and fillings cost nothing.
