Sure, but a crown still costs $500. That's almost a full week of work, just to keep your job, assuming you only have one bad tooth.

I couldn't remember what I paid years ago and wanted to underestimate so people didn't cry about that.

I just shopped around for a crown. My insurance covered half of the cost, which i was quoted between $1.4 k - $2.5 k. $500 is definitely a far underestimation, which further supports the point you are making. This system is fucked.

Orthodontist on TikTok says he graduated with 1 million in student loans. Not sure if that's normal, but it sounds like trickle down economics to me. Charge the dentist a million to get a job, they charge $1500 for crowns.
