Even if I did go to a doctor, it might be because most insurance covers seeing a doctor but not dental shit.
Those are luxury bones!
It's sad. They're not just luxury bones in the US either. National healthcare here in Estonia only covers dental until you turn 19 and then all you get is a tiny annual benefit, rest is out of pocket. I believe that most countries don't give adults dental coverage :/
Essentially the health board is completely fine paying for cancer treatments, broken bones, or to have a suspicious mole removed. They'll subsidize prescription medication. But TEETH?!?!?! WHO NEEDS THOSE????!?
The amount of money we get makes it feel like we don't need them. Just drink smoothies all day.
It's such a stumble of history that teeth were historically associated with barbers and not doctors, causing the dental practice industry to evolve separately from all other medical practices. Bullshit how a vestige of that lives on today in dental insurance coverage being its own special snowflake thing.
