What is Behind the High Dental Costs in the U.S.

Abstract

Healthcare is among the most important issues for Americans since the U.S. health care system is the most expensive in the world. Analyzing the U.S. rising cost of health care in the 21 century it is impossible not to see that the increase of dental prices exceeds significantly the growth of prices for many other medical services. Regular preventive dental care is essential for good oral health, but many persons don’t get the care they need. More people are unable to afford dental care than other types of health care. Such situation with dental health is inadmissible.
