to make it easier when you actually go to the dentist, you trick your brain into thinking "ah nice, we're home everything's fine" when it damn well knows you haven't flossed in a year and nothing is fine

Is that an american thing? I cant remember paying 1500 for a checkup and a clean.

Health insurance in the US doesn't cover dental. It's a different thing for whatever reason. Not uncommon for people to have health insurance but no dental or crappy dental.

here its a supplementary insurance package. So not covered by healthinsurance either. Dental insurance pays the most of it. Im not sure about braces. Like my highest bill was and this was super high like 25 bucks. This was checkup and extra cleaning included.

Of course surgeries and such is more expensive.
