Diary Update, Jan 2024 Dental Work

Just getting some dental work done here over Christmas and New Years while I babysit this web traffic...

In Halifax one dentist on Main Street couldn't process Government Health Insurance and the other needed a $160 cheque to cover the next $5000 in Government Dental Insurance.

You fucking broke.

The regular dentist covers everything, 100% on Government Cheque Plans.

Except cosmetic.

Now..

If someone who used to work in a lab or something or private medical clinic had a bunch of expensive dental work done or in a research clinic

That could be a doctor, scientist, patient etc...

Anyway a dentist can't work on his own mouth so if he makes a dental procedure in a research lab someone else has to give it to him.

Later, if he the patient switches to full cheque coverage benefits plan, the dental procedure falls to the public dental coverage.

The work the the private / research clinic is then transferred to the new dentist at the full coverage Government Cheque plan dentist to the local dentist offering full coverage for cheque benefits now offers NEW procedures learned from a patient formerly at a research clinic etc., then that dentist gets the new cheaper procedures at HIS clinic.

These transfer from the old expensive private or research clinic procedures to the full coverage Cheque Benefits Dentist who can now offer new expensive procedures for the same price at his clinic as the old ones, plus the chair becomes more available because it saves time the new dental procedures.

The new procedures didn't go to the private dentist who couldn't cash government health insurance OR the one charging +20% fees, because they didn't attract any research lab based clients.

Then the dentist who covers the full bill on government health insurance HE now has more advanced cheaper procedures on the SAME equipment that used to be at expensive private clinics on bigger machines is now cheaper and done at the local full coverage dentist.
