You could end up with a brain infection, very easily.

If you cannot afford US dental care, and you are not super poor, get a 1 way ticket via Kiwi.com to a more “eastern” European Union country like Croatia or Poland. If you use scripts from GitHub or are very good at searching you can get such tickets for $200-$250. You can find extremely excellent dentists with great qualifications and reviews in countries like that, and many have amazing reviews and are super cheap.

A lot of people from EU countries, that do not have “socialized dental care” go to countries like that a couple times a year to get dental care.

This is totally bizarre to me.

This is the average cost, per tooth, of the work I had done here 2 years ago, in the US, at a dentist where I paid cash.

I’m wondering how cheap they have to be in order to make it cheaper to fly to europe. How much would be an extraction or a filling replacement?

Mess up cutting your toe nails or not disinfecting minor wounds and you can end up with a serious infection too.
