Well, maybe "recommended" is a slight exaggeration. David Cross, highly intelligent, brutally honest, and often confrontational actor/comedian was a guest on Bill Maher's October 1st show. He shared his experience in a dental clinic in Europe. Having never been treated anywhere but in the US before, he was truly shocked how easy the whole process turned out to be. "No $1200 panoramic x-rays, no special cleaning, no unnecessary prophylactic treatments, they just took care of a serious emergency I came there for". Cross, of course, used some language we try to stay away from on this blog, so we give you our rendition of his remarks. The whole experience apparently took only 40 minutes, no wait. Total cost was about 80 British pounds. That would be about $126. People wouldn't have to cash out what is still left of their IRA or 401K, would they?
Of, course we have plenty of those who wouldn't want any socialist dentistry like that here, in the US. Until they actually have a chance to experience it first hand. Didn't Mark Twain once say "Travel is fatal to prejudice"?

That is exactly the point! There are no unnecessary procedures or X-Rays when you go to the dentist in Europe. X-rays are not good for you! Why are the dentists pushing them on us every time we are visiting them for a check up? Being from Eastern Europe, were everyone experienced the Chernobyl, I am very conscious of unnecessary radiation! Plus additional costs associated with it!
