#58 The Cost of Chomper Care Through Your Lifetime

🤔 Teresa and Kevin reflect on the exorbitant cost of dental care through statistics 📉, and the shocking lack of dental insurance awareness among patients 😱. They referenced Synchrony’s Dental Lifetime of Care Study (link below) while discussing why people avoid necessary dental treatment. Spoiler alert - it’s due to financial constraints, which leads to increased emergency care visits 😷. Plus, they make an interesting proposition about dentistry professionals encountering people with oral health issues in everyday situations, like on a plane or in an Uber 🚗.

The overall takeaway is that dental care is both crucial and costly, and the industry needs to find better ways to make treatment more accessible and affordable. So, next time you meet a dental person in the wild, be sure to show them your problematic tooth for some impromptu advice. We’re joking. Don’t do that. We hate that.
