Side story: There was a dentist who told my dad to have half of his teeth pulled out, when the other dentists say there really is no such a need. Yeah, so I don’t trust them that much…… I wish BC insurance covers dental appointment. They have such an amazing benefit with counseling/therapy sessions, why don’t they also cover dental appointments? I’ve been having toothache for a while. ><
As a wall, I’ve never understood why teeth (aka luxury bones) are in a different category from the rest of the body when it comes to paying to maintain them. Since they are, you might consider using local dental schools (Google “dental school appointments” for local ones) for dental visits. They charge less than regular dental offices, and the care, which is carried out by students but supervised by full dentists, is still good, especially for routine care.
