Why Do We Have More Dental Care Issues Than Other Countries?

US is much ahead of many countries in the world, in dental care research and availability of facilities. We have the best trained doctors, hospitals and universities. So much manpower and taxpayers money are invested in research. Awareness of dental care also is very high in US than many other countries in the world.
Oral hygiene is so much part of our culture. We have the best dental products available in the market. We have very healthy competition in the dental care products and is available in any nook and corner of the country.
Still we have a lot of dental problems compared to other countries. What is the reason behind this. It is because the cost of dental care is extremely high in the country. Common man cannot afford dental care in US. Most of the health insurances do not cover dental. Even if, you have dental insurance, they have caps on the money that can be spend of dental care. This makes it so hard even for middle income families to support dental care needs of their family. It becomes harder for retired people. Food habits of this country also adds to the need of dental care. Especially the meat eating.
Many socially committed companies came out with solutions. One among those, is dental discount plans. For a small monthly fee, anybody can afford to maintain a discount plan and get this available for the whole family irrespective of their age or the number of members in a family. It is a beautiful concept and may be solution for dental care issues of this country.

I agree that dental care in this country is to high. But why would meat eating have anything to do with dental hygiene, I think it would have more to do with coffee, cigarettes, sugar, soda….

I think that in a society with such advanced technology and the ability and knowledge to provide outstanding dental care, the service should be available to everyone. Dental care is an integral part to overall health and well being.

I wonder why dental insurance seems to be so underclassed. I mean, the discount programs are wonderful, and any dental insurance that comes with your regular health insurance is not to be dismissed, but why are the options so slim? It’s not as though dental work is any more expensive than regular health care. In addition, a lot of dental problems can be flat out avoided in entirety with a modicum of preventative care. One would think that insurance companies would be jumping on the bandwagon to offer an insurance plan that they would be able to charge for incessantly, but would not have to pay much out in return.

The one thing that really stands out to me is “food habits”. I notice a lot of my friends eat very bad food and mostly eat out two times if not three times per day. Along with bad eating habits expensive dental care adds to the stress and hardship on Americans.

most dental problems are caused by bad habits like eating too much sugary foods:-`

dental problems can be reduced by just cutting down on sugar and visiting your dentist regularly;’;
