DENTAL NEWS:British men spend more money on their teeth teeth according to new research from Tesco, a UK-based
dental insurance firm which found that one-third of women in the UK spent nothing on dental treatment over the past 12 months compared with 27% of men. Apparently 45% of British women have been put off from going to the dentist because of cost. The study also found men would be three times more likely than women to extract their own tooth if they felt that they couldn’t afford to go to the dentist.DENTAL VIEWS: What is really surprising about this study is that they have socialized dentistry in the UK so there is very little if any out-of-pocket expenses in order to go see a dentist so why would women put off going to the dentist because of cost? It doesn't make sense.
Although we don't have free dentistry in America (my father constantly used to say to me "Son... there is nothing free in this world; somebody has to pay for it!"), Americans have ways of making going to the dentist more affordable via a discount dental plan. Hopefully those needing extractions will consider this type of dental coverage before pulling their own teeth."
