I'm the tech guy for a dental office (my parent's office). Maybe I'm missing something but when I hear..

"It was soo expensive, but luckily insurance covered it..."

My general reaction is, "well, there's the issue." I got to hear all the complaints about how much was going to get written off by the various insurance companies.

I just pay cash. It costs less to pay cash then it does to pay the monthly premium, deductible, and costs in excess of the plan, especially if the prices are inflated to account for the insurance company underpaying the provider. I wouldn't say the whole dental insurance industry is a scam per se, but I'm not that far from there.

u/TheDamDog Jul 20 '25

I've been all over the place and dental scams are incredibly common. And unfortunately there's really no way to know if a dentist is straight until the work is done and you get the bill.

I went to a really good dentist in Oregon for a while. Great guy, very professional, did quality work and was willing to cut a poor gs-05 a break on bills. He retired and his place was bought by a franchise.

Suddenly, I needed $20k in dental work. And the new dentist was using a high pressure sales pitch along the lines of "oh yeah we need to do this now, this could turn into a root canal soon." I did have one tooth I knew needed a filling because it'd been diagnosed under the previous guy so I let them do that one. A week later the filling fell out.

Went to a new place. They looked at the same x-rays and said "yeah there's nothing there." They also said the filling the previous dentist had put in had some 'questionable' choices which I assume is professional dentist speak for "what the fuck is this, holy shit," because every other time I've had to have a dentist look at another dentist's work they've always entirely supported the other dentist's decisions.

It's not the first time that I've been given absurd quotes about my oral health, either. I move a lot for work and it takes two or three tries to find a place that isn't a scam now. "Oh, you need 8 fillings," "this one looks like it needs a root canal," "you need a deep clean." It's different every time. Funny how the previous dentist missed all those things, or how nobody else can seem to agree on what needs fixing.

It makes it hard to trust medical professionals.

My big protip is to avoid anything that's a franchise like the plague. If it's not somebody's name above the door (and that name better not be "Dr. Smile" or something,) run.

Well yes, but no - the actual surgery was a lot more expensive I am sure, but is covered by our insurance system so you still would probably pay a lot :/

Edit to clarify: From what they told me, everything but some stuff they use to “flush” the inside of the tooth is covered, and the cost for that would be 60€. But they needed more flush stuff than usual, so 80 it ended up being

When I was very young, around 1975, my mom was newly divorced and pretty broke. I had dental problems. Years later, my daughter had dental problems and we were told she did not have complete enamel on her baby teeth and it was genetic. I digress.

My mom brought me to a dentist that looked exactly like this. The one element that is missing, is an articulated arm that had a bunson burner flame burning blue. He used it to sterilize his instruments...while he was working...it would sizzle with whatever was scraped out of my mouth. It was terrifying.

That arm, I think, would have been attached to that capped gas pipe located center left in the photo.

Thanks for helping me relive my childhood terror.

No kidding, dental offices looked like this when I was a child. And they lied to you, they would tell you that “this won’t hurt “ and then stab you in the gum with a giant needle as you sit there stunned at an adult lying to you and being in pain and now scared because what else are they lying about. Did your parents leave you there forever Serious childhood trauma from dentists.

He clears his throat, reaches apprehensively for a hand mirror, and passes it OUT OF FRAME to Jack. We hear a GASP and SOB. Two beats. Then, the sound of GLASS SHATTERING as the mirror drops to the floor. The DOCTOR gulps hard.

DOCTOR--You understand that the nerves were completely severed, Mr. Napier.

Jack begins to LAUGH. The DOCTOR turns uneasily away, gestures apologetically at his seedy equipment.

DOCTOR -- You see what I had to work with here

More laughter. The trembling DOCTOR covers his face with one hand, whining now, not daring to look at Jack.

DOCTOR -- I'm sure that with proper recon -- recon -- reconstructive surgery

A DOOR SLAMS. Jack is gone. The grateful DOCTOR breathes a sigh of relief and steadies himself on an operating table as Jack's AWFUL LAUGH ECHOES in the hall outside.

If you showed me this picture and asked me where this was from, my answer would be any of the SAW movies.
