1. Dental equipment is now required by the state to be specialized, one person one set, so the cost of equipment has increased a lot. 2. Dental supplies are also more expensive, the cost of production is very high. For example, the commonly used turning needle, the size of an embroidery needle, or hollow, with tiny barbs on the surface. This one needle in Hubei Provincial Dental Hospital, procurement will not be less than 80 yuan. (Sneer, last time an acquaintance took me to the limit of 100 yuan, the results of that student broke 2 turning needle, where a long time meat pain.) And other fillings with porcelain or dental implants such as consumables, the price is quite expensive. Of course, I personally feel that dental implants are more similar to the replacement of a certain organ, although very small and insignificant, but you have to consider a practical problem, that is, there are only so many permanent teeth in a person's life, a tooth a pit, no more is no more, not even a substitute organ. So it's expensive for a reason, not outrageous. 3. Don't think that you see a dentist there is only a doctor for you, the next in addition to the nursing staff, there is a special type of work of the staff for you, they are dental technicians. They are mainly responsible for making dental molds and shaping. A qualified mechanic needs at least three to five years of maturity. A good dentist may only handle two to three patients a day, so there is a limit to how much they can earn in consultation fees in relative time. (I know a famous Chinese medicine practitioner who has 40 patients a morning, and I'm afraid a dentist doesn't have that many in a week, and most of them aren't new patients.) Their "team" service will inevitably demand a reasonable increase in income. 4. The number of dentists is very small, the cost of learning is very high, and the direction of the division is very detailed, orthodontics, orthopedics, caries, restoration, etc., to master all the doctors at least is 40 outside, and a dentist's golden age is between 40-60. The most expensive cost is the cost of labor, followed by the cost of materials.
