JAPAN vs USA | When you go see the dentist

Time to fly to Japan for my dental care. It takes a Lotta time, but will still be cheaper (money-wise) than just seeing a dentist locally.

[@PersephoneDaSilva]

It's over $1,000 to go across the ocean. Unless you're going to live there.... why would you go for dental work?

[@cosmo3940]

that wont work because you need to be employed or live in Japan in order to receive those benefits I believe.

[@sippinhotcocoa5934]

Brightened my day! Thanks George 🙏

[@_PM__]

Part of the reason for the difference in cost is that Japan has national health insurance, so the dentist isn't charging only $50 to fix a cavity. That is the part that the patient pays. Their insurance pays the rest. The National Health Insurance tax, from what I've seen, is fairly complicated, but they do pay a monthly premium in the form of a tax. If an American has insurance that covers dental, they would pay a fraction of the total bill, as well.

[@diodelvino3048]

@@dystopia4755 If you don't have insurance in the USA (which most people have to get through a full-time job for it to be affordable) then you can get a bill forbup to 10K in a hospital or dentist. A flight to Japan or some East European country can be 1.5k USD - 4k USD AND the dental work would be cheaper and thats still less than being without Insurance in the USA

[@CatMuto]

In Germany, my insurance takes care of things. Unless I get the professional cleaning. They don't cover that, so I have to pay myself. 85€ or so.

[@taylorjudge5416]

Funny in the US cleanings you can get for free but everything else is like 9000000000000 dollars

[@J.Crime123]

You should look into what programms your insurance supports. For example if you are in the AOK you can submit the bill twice a year to get 80% of the cost you payed for the cleaning reimbursed. Oder kurz und knapp. Verschiedene kassen erstatten dir Sonderleistungen. Guck nach was deine Anbietet.

It's the same in Canada for dental care too. I finally got my first ever dentist visit (am 14) and thank God I have decent teeth

[@meimei]

Even Denmark is super expensive on that 😭 you get free check till you’re 25 (if you’re in the insurance Danmark), and under 18 you get free braces, but afterwards it’s horrible.

[@DANICHANDAYO]

i recently got my cavity treated and it only cost like 1900 yen, it’s actually cheaper than the typical annual cleaning thing in japan, majority of the citizens ( mainly adults) only pay 30%. but it can be cheaper, depends on the household or income? but those vary by where in japan u live in like children (usually until u graduate middle school but mine was free until i graduated highschool because my mom is single) get free healthcare, my mom gets free healthcare because she’s a singe mom and still has my brother who’s still qualified for free healthcare, i think the elderly pay something different too idk tho oh and apparently hospital food is pretty good here according to my mom lol

[@craftydemon529]

So what I'm seeing is that for the price of about two and a half fillings in US plus $50, I can get a filling in Japan plus a fun time in Japan

[@ILuvMymommy455]

The look on your face when it was the American one! So true though! You're so funny!

[@shoezomaku]

The one thing is though, they do the same work that in America is a one visit kind of thing, and split it into several visits where the do the work piecemeal. So, yeah the bill is $50, but it's only the first of many. It is still significantly cheaper, but imagine going to the dentist 5 times for a simple cavity filling.

Depends where you are in Japan. If you in a big city, the Dentist will likely have modern equipment and practice. If it’s in a small rural town. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Dentist is in his 70s and uses equipment from the 80s or 90s 😅
