It’s called “cash”. Dental plans are a joke, at least here in New York. I’ve been self employed (truck driver) for the past 40 years (I’m turning 60 in two weeks) and it’s always been a cash business when it comes to dental. One guy lets me pay him off, but the costs are ludicrous.
God never intended for people to live much further than their 20s or 30s and that’s about as long as my teeth have lasted, seriously, there is not one tooth in my skull that isn’t a disaster, Im already missing around 7. Now I got one that feels like it split and my upper gum is swollen like a golf ball
I guess I’m a bit different. Have had two cavities my whole life, had one tooth pulled besides wisdom teeth and I’m 65 in a couple months. A lot is hereditary, streptomucens etc. My brothers and sisters have similar problems as you.
If you’ve got a spare $35,000, look into full mouth implants.
Doesn't jibe with the Bible. He meant for Adam and Eve to live in Eden forever, but they blew it. Adam made it to 930 years. His sons lived nearly as long. After the flood, the lifespans declined about half and then about half again until the time of David:
Psalm 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
We gained a few years but are now declining once again, or so I've read. Before toothbrushes, people did clean their teeth, so not everyone lost or wore down their teeth by the time they were in their 20s and 30s.
