Seeing this title, there must be a lot of friends who can't wait to click in to give Dr. Zhu a message, "Yes, you dental is profiteering", "see teeth really too expensive" ......
Yes, yes Yes, the guys are right, it's not cheap, but it is for a reason.
Two days ago, Dr. Zhu's old classmate complained that he was in his hometown to see a dentist, but also bad two teeth, before and after running seventy to eighty dental clinics, took three months, before deciding to do it in which one, the reason is: each is very expensive! The last look at the cure two teeth, spent 23,000, three months of salary, you say angry people not angry?
Then he came to me and asked how much it would cost to see him in your hospital. I said, "I can give you a discount on the friendly price, but it won't be too much cheaper.
Dr. Zhu first analyzed the cost of our dental operation, which is divided into visible and invisible costs.
Explicit costs are what we all see - dental supplies and tools. Now most of the dental materials are dependent on imports, you see the dental chair, lying on the dental chair, to be tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention CT scanning and so on, to dozens of millions of dollars, the processing of crowns of the machine to millions of dollars a machine, and to do the filling of dental implants, bone powder and so on, the price of a gram of the original compared to the price of gold, the dental can not do a loss of business ah. The same extraction, you lie in a professional dental chair is extracted, in the roadside stalls sitting is also extracted, but the roadside stalls on the cost is much lower, so the price is also low.
Because our country's oral health care started late, most of these equipment and supplies are imported from abroad, but not expensive?
Dental implants are one of the most expensive dental implants in the world. Implants are basically monopolized by Swiss, German, and South Korean brands, and cost thousands of dollars, and the most expensive Swiss dental implants can even be up to 80,000 dollars a piece, and 80,000 dollars, which is almost as much as you can buy a car.
So, dental care is expensive, but if you want to say that the profit is really high, in fact, it is not higher than other diseases.
These are the costs that we can see, in our country, people's health awareness is still very high, often run to the hospital, but in the dental sector to save for a rainy day is very little, the concept of dental care is not prominent, so the dentist is also very little. In our country, the ratio of dentists to patients is almost 40,000:1; in Japan, the ratio is 1,300:1. There are fewer dentists, and many of them are street clinics, and roadside dentists, and even fewer dentists are able to take the risks and technical difficulties, so the price is not low, and the scarcity of goods is expensive.
But even in the oral care of a very strong sense of foreign countries, see the teeth is also expensive, we should have heard, in Italy, planting a tooth is almost 25,000-32,000, in Europe, the average cost of planting a tooth is also in the two or three million, a payment is not, on the mortgage. In Israel, the cost of dental care can reach 16 million, which in our China, can cure a big disease.
It's because of the high cost of dental care that many Europeans pay a lot of attention to their teeth.
So, when people say that dental care is expensive, Dr. Zhu understands that not only in China, but also abroad, a lot of the cost of dental care is not covered by health insurance, so it's expensive! So, it's expensive! The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty!
As a doctor, the mood is also complex, honestly, the dentist is not as black as we think, we are all human, to see patients suffering from dental problems, to see the missing teeth can not afford to plant the patient we will also be difficult, but as a job, we certainly hope that there is a constant flow of patients, so the old Zhu in the previous article often give you mention! Some simple dental care tips, if you can do a little bit every day, the money can save a lot of money to see a dentist, saving for a rainy day is the most important.
Today, I'm going to reiterate that:
1. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, especially at night before you go to bed, and be sure to brush your teeth,
Whether you're having a nightcap, or you're working late, you should always make a point of brushing your teeth at night before you go to bed.
2. Don't brush your teeth immediately after a meal, it's best to brush them again in half an hour or so, and if it's not convenient to brush your teeth at lunchtime, you can use a gargle instead.
3, to develop the habit of flossing, so as to keep the mouth cleaner, flossing is very cheap, but it can bring great help to our teeth. Compared to flossing, toothpicks are not as clean, and may poke the gums and make the gap between the teeth bigger, so it is recommended to use less.
4, regular teeth cleaning. Many people think that teeth cleaning will make the teeth loose, in fact, not, just usually your teeth are wrapped with calculus, after cleaning the teeth after the calculus is removed, naturally, there will be a gap between the teeth and loose, but after two or three days will be good. Everyone has calculus, how do you see it? Not by looking at the outside of your teeth, but by looking in the mirror and looking at the inside of your teeth. Long-term non-cleaning of dental calculus will not only lead to periodontal disease, but also lead to gum recession, so be sure to clean your teeth regularly.
5, develop the habit of knocking teeth. Knocking on the teeth is the upper and lower teeth gently bite, knocking on the teeth can not only maintain our teeth, but also promote the flow of blood to the face, the benefits are many.
I hope that we all start from the usual dental care, do not let their hard-earned money are spent on the dentist here!
