my experience at dentist Yesterday, my filling was come off when I was using a floss. I was getting paranoid because I have heard dentist's fee in the United States is so much expensive than that in Japan for the uninsured and I don't have insurance yet. I checked some websites and some Japanese said the cost sometimes amounted to $1,000, and it made me sick. So I made an appointment and went to a dentist today. Actually, it costed $300, it was cheaper than I expected but still so much higher than Japan. I need to be careful for using a floss.
