I wonder why dentists are very expensive all around the world? Do they have some mafia lobbying them? In most developed countries going to a dentist costs a fortune, health insurance does not cover it. If one broke his arm he has no problem going to the hospital and get free (from taxes) or health insurance covered (depending on country) treatment by a doctor who had to study much more than dentist and the equipment is also more value.
Dentists, what is wrong with you?
