holdings for the government to provide free electricity for funds. india is agriculture minister, has emphasized the need to maintain peace and set the farm, but should continue to negotiate their work and say that without one of them, a price guarantees for the crops they might not make ends. we demand that the government implemented a minimum support price for our crops we are the produces, but we don't get the correct payment for our produce the trade as a middleman and take away all our profits. both the producers and the consumers suffer losses in the current system. we are here to demand rights for farmers. in my region, the minimum support price for crops is not paid. we sold our sugar cane produce, but haven't received compensation. also, farmers are fed up with the issue of straight cattle destroying crops in our country, farmers or oppressed the corporate companies of our country receive corporate loan wavers, but the poor and deserving farmers are denied their rights. continues online right

now at all to call and make sure you checked off these telegram channels as well because we have so many switch the channels off the arabic espanol. so an inside for lot of news being brought to you worldwide, from the mothership. this is all to international the show room just don't have to safe house because of the application and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look so common ground the with the constantly rising cost of health care. many americans are making difficult

decisions about their health, including sometimes for going routine preventative care. as a way to save money. this includes routine, dental care which can oftentimes result in patients for crying, even more expensive and complicated emergency care down the road to save their pearly whites. i'm christy, and you're watching the cost of everything more today. we're going to be looking at the cost of maintaining your lifelong dental health and why the u. s. dental care is so much more expensive compared to other countries. the now we've all heard of medical tourism where people go for a cosmetic facelift or maybe an infamous brazilian, but lift. but literally dental tourism has also been on the rise. the top 10 destinations for dental tourism for us patients are mexico tylen hungry spain,

poland, costa rica, the philippines, malaysia and turkey. us patients can expect to save between 40 to 65 percent in mexico and up to 50 to 75 percent in thailand. and this is because in countries like mexico, the cost of living is significantly less compared with the us, making it more feasible for dentist to own and operate a practice. in addition, dentists and mexico are not required to pay for malpractice insurance to many patients. now combine dental care with a vacation and the most common procedures for dental tourism include crowns, veneers, implants whitening root, canals, dentures and fillings. and just on the other side of the colorado river, the small mexican town of lost out the donors bills itself, as molar city. the city only has around $5000.00 permanent residence,

but thousands of tours flocked to the city every year to take advantage of the $350.00 dentists in the downtown area. some clinics even offer transportation to and from airports or other metropolitan areas. los altos, known as was built around dental tourism. this means dental work is fast, and cheap. prices on average are of 3rd of the cost of their us equivalent. but unfortunately, not all the work is quality. none other procedures are guaranteed and sometimes patients get taken advantage of. insurance companies are now even on board with dental tourism, with companies like geo blue which is affiliated with blue cross blue shield and aetna offering specific medical and dental coverage for people who are traveling outside of the us. a doing so. say's insurance company's money because they're paying out much less than they would for these procedures in the us. some employers

have even gone a step further and will even cover entire medical tourism trips for employees. so now joining us today is dr. joseph kelly, ill, dentist from arlington, dentistry. now joseph, can you provide an overview of the current landscape of dental care costs and how has they evolved over the years? well, it's really, it depends on the type of treatment the patients are having. and it depends on the locations where are you located? if, if we're talking them to us, it's gonna vary. if you're in a major city or if you're in the suburbs, overall, it is known that dental costs in the u. s. is more expensive than, for example, places uh overseas. um now uh the, the, what some of the factors that play influence in the dental cost is uh the complexity

of the treatment. and when you were talking about treatment that involves more advanced procedures, like surgeries or dental implants, uh so you, you're going to find that that is going to be a little bit more costly and also using technology with capt cam or 3 d printing. that's also gonna add the costs. so i guess the answer is it depends on locations. it depends of complexity of treatment and what factors contributed to the overall expenses associated with dental care today? well, uh i can tell you from my, my experience um we are located in arlington, virginia, so uh, the real estate is expensive. rents are expensive. um staff salaries

are expensive, so one of the factors is location. so if you're in, in a small town where your rent might not be as, as expensive, your overhead is going to be less. so you have a fixed overhead into practice, meaning just the fixed overhead, the cost of operating. so use the moment you walk into your office and you turn the lights on, you have some expensive expenses, whether it's a mortgage on the property or the rent, and you've got your staff salaries, these are all fixed electricity, etc. so cost of operating a dental office in us is not so it's not cheap. um, so if you move a little bit towards a smaller areas, it might be a little bit less expensive, but then you've got also malpractice insurance and other business overhead. insurances, and the workman's comp insurance is, i mean there's a lot of

a lot of hidden expenses. patients typically think that they're buying our next both or our airplane or our cause. and it's, it's far, far from reality. as a matter of fact, that a lot of dental offices and dentists that go go under go out of business. i just sort of one today that the close shot because the rent was so expensive. she, she couldn't keep up, keep the office. so she have to move it to a different location. so uh, so these are some of the what drives the cost. the other thing is a technology. as you advanced in technology, labs need to buy sophisticated equipments, especially when it comes to 3 d printing machines or using uh, uh, you know, digital like um, digital scanners, etc. and so that is expensive. and so therefore, the light bill is going to be

a little bit more expensive and so this adds to the, to the cost. so for these odd in a nutshell, you have the fixed overhead and that, and then you have the uh, other type of expenses where you've got your life bills and miscellaneous expenses that that sometimes happens when you, you can't control. many individuals find dental care costs challenging to manage. could you elaborate on the specific challenges people face and affording these treatments? it really depends on the treatment. and it depends on the level of the treatment and expectations the patients have. you know, i'll give you a simple example. let's say someone comes in and they don't have to. okay, they want to have something, they can go with something that's removable. they can go with something that's

doable with 2 implants, and they can go with something that's removable, but little bit more fixed with for implants. and they can go with something that is fixed, like having their own teeth with, you know, 4 or more implants. and the more fixed you go, the more the cost. now you do, you know, they might need a simple, simple restorative like fillings. and that's not going to be as much expensive as a, if they need it, for example, uh, root canal. and maybe some crowns on top. so the best way to saves on dental treatment is prevention because that is so way with patients can go throughout their life with not leaving other than simple cleanings, you know, but it takes the effort to, uh, uh, you know, do the work at home. i always tell patients when they come in for the 6 months of

the visits for the cleaning and oh, i tell them this and you're seeking me 2 days out of 365. what really matters? what's more important is what you do in the 363 days at home. so prevention is the best of the best solution and how the preventative care measures such as regular checkups and cleanings contribute to the overall cost of dental maintenance. when it comes to dentistry, for the most part, um the prevention is just key. okay. and i always felt based on my job is to help you uh, need less that the 3 would be failing as a dentist if my patients keep coming to me. and they keep needing work. um, so we spend a lot of time on, on spending time and talking to them about prevention. the number one cause of

problems, the major, you know, 60 percent plus of things that we, we do in the office are the result of cavities. the k right carries. and the best prevention is limiting, sugar, sugar consumption and it's sugar. it isn't everywhere and it doesn't impact only their overall health from, you know, diabetes, to heart disease, etc. but also it impacts the teeth and then the teeth when they, um they get cavities. so that's where expenses start rising up. now that is a way to fix something before it gets bigger, with simple filling. so that's where you can control the costs. and then of course, as it gets bigger, if you go into more expenses when you get into more advance whether it's root canals, and if you let it go completely, then you lose a tooth. then you were talking about surgeries and extractions and implants if you

want to replace the so controlling sugar. okay. brushing flossing, you know, but the main thing is sugar. lemme thing sugar vocations and of course fluoride plays a big role as well. uh lets controversial some people are against fluoride, some are with we have studies that show that it does prevent to speak a but in my opinion, the number one thing is sugar, sugar poison for the teeth and for the body. thank you so much dr. but please stick around. dr. joseph kelly ill will stay with us right here after the breaks. so stay tuned as we delve into the world of cosmetic dentistry. exploring is rising popularity. fueled by the influence of social media. we'll have more after the break

the lease of the russian states never as sort of the most sense community all sense and that's the same assistance must be the one else calls question about this even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission the state on the russians putting s r t spoke back, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube, the payment services for the question, did you say they requested the?

our world is full of different cultures with various beauty standards and traditions. were one country values, bronze pan, skin, others pies, fer porcelain glass skin. but across the board, every country values healthy white teeth. and so when it comes to the best overall dental health, denmark takes the 1st spot with the m f t index, which stands for decayed, missing, or filled teeth score of 0.4. dana citizens have pretty perfect teeth, followed by germany, finland, sweden, and the u. k, now, diet plays important factor and dental health. cultures that consume large amounts of sugar are more prone to dental problems, which lowers are d, m, f t score. the philippines had the worst d m. f t score with 90 percent of their citizens suffering from tooth decay, india and australia rank 2nd and 3rd to last on the list. countries with universal

health care often see better oral health outcomes due to more accessible and affordable dental services. now americans have some of the best dental care in the world, but more than 90 percent of american adults has has some form of tooth decay. and again, diets filled with sugary carbonated acidic, trains are largely to blame. and while the case can be fixed with dental fillings, repetitive decay can wear down the tooth structure enough that extraction may be the only option. on average, preventative dental care services like x rays and cleanings costs between $275.00 to $400.00. but if you have a cavity and require filling, it can range from a $154.00 tooth to $250.00. crowns are more expensive and depending on the material from a $1000.00 for a metal filling to $2000.00 for a ceramic filling. and for many people who labs and dental care,

whether for cost reasons or for cobit reasons, they often return in worse shape. dentists who reported declines and patient volume during the height of the pen democrat, saw nearly 40 percent increases in oral health problems, including more cavities and subsequent years. and this is referred to now as colored cavities. dentists also reported seeing a sharp rise and chipped and cracked teeth as well as more americans stressed by coven or clenching their jaws and grinding their molars. this can be attributed to children and teens consuming more sugary snacks and not falling strict dental hygiene practices. while spending an extended time amount of time at home during warranty, adults also develop snacking habits, having a refrigerator stashed 20 feet away from them at all times. and so for this and more, let's bring in again, dr. joseph camille dentist at arlington dentistry. now joseph,

we often hear about people in the ortho work and people routinely get braces or invisalign in their adult to years. how have these new technologies contributed to the cost of dental care? i would still say that over all you can, you can still get a clear a liners for. ready for a reasonable affordable cost. uh maybe a little bit less than what was traditionally uh necessary to get like the conventional braces. but it's kind of depends once again, depends on the region. depends on the area. um, depending on the provider i for example, we do lot of interest aligned because because we do a lot of invisalign, we get into a different tier. uh, meaning my costs from design would be less than someone that doesn't do a lot of invisalign. so i can afford to pass on those savings to my patients. okay

. so, and that's the decision that i make business decision that i make to say, you know what? i wanna lower the cost for the patients. and i this way i get more patients interested. and i also believe that when you've got the patients wearing invisalign and they're like, oh and bass. so there's through a practice because their friends and family last summer was doing your invisalign and then it can be more of a marketing tool. are there technologies that have significantly improve dental treatments and lower the cost such as these online or subscription services, and do they actually work? i'm a believer. okay, that straight thirty's, a clean or t. so it, um, it, i don't look at straightening the teeth strictly as a cosmetic benefit to the patients. okay. that a lot of benefits. as a matter of fact, i don't,

i don't discuss my patients invisalign or straightening the teeth strictly on the basis of cosmetics unless this is a concern to them. and we can address that. but sometimes that bite the way that these are fitting together the direction of the force. it can be detrimental. they can be cracking their teeth that can be tripping that these and simply because the teeth i was wrong place also, we have, we see a lot of patients that are well into the eighty's and ninety's. and lot of patients physiologically. you know, as we all get older, lower teeth get more crowded, and then when manual dexterity diminishes, so people as they get older, some of them are in, in uh, assisted living. you know, they have other people brushing their teeth. it's always easier to clean straight or teeth, then crowded teeth. i do sometimes lot of restorations and fixing cavities on

patients with, with cricket teeth or crowded teeth. so there is a lot of health benefits to having traits ortiz. and so we, we discuss that with patients when there are well and you know, it to their you know, before they get, you know, older and we say, hey, we're living long. and if there are some advantages to that. so. ready um yes, so that technology is, is helping patients have healthy your mouth. and by the way, that a lot of studies that were done that saw that the type of bacteria around crowded teeth is different than the bacteria around 330. and we all know that there's correlation between the heart disease and gum disease. so again, so, um i, i look at things where, you know, what, this is definitely a health benefit. the other thing that is important is that when you have threats of teeth and studies have been done, you have that a self confidence,

you have better self esteem. so that is that your whole emotional psyche is better that it's has been linked to having better jobs. and i'm talking in general being able to a, if you don't feel better about yourself. so these are also a benefits. so again, it's going to, it's going to differ where you are in the world, in america, it's a lot more. there's a lot more emphasis on that. versus some other parts of the world. cosmetic dentistry has seen a rise in popularity. what has contributed to this? it is cultural uh, but uh if, if you want me to talk about the western world, it has been on the rise. and it went even more on the rise after coping when everybody was on zillow. and i had a lot of patients come in to me and say like

a sense to me, the screenshots of the, like, look up my teeth. we the, we go in life, people go in life, no one books from the outside and right, unless you're looking in the mirror, right. and then when, when people are on screen at, on, on zoo. uh they notice a lot of a lot of that. notice that the penalty, the color, then we'll just the arrangements. so yes it, it became more on the rise. the other thing is our ability to use better communication skills using digital media photography. computers is 3 d scanners. you are able to show patients on the screen and then patient acceptance and patients awareness increase. so that's, that's a 2 is 3. so there is a lot of different treatment modalities that one can do that don't have to be very expensive, meaning in the past. if you need to do cosmetic procedure at that to be either crowns or porcelain veneer. well right now you can do,

you can straighten the teeth and we'll do little bit the whitening and maybe that does the trick. or you can do some bonding which are 2 color filling special tooth color, filling material that is highly polished bolt. and you can place on your front teeth and you don't do that conservative. you don't have to cut on your deep. and then, you know, that's typically less costly than ceramic than boston videos. so i mean, so that's also contributed to people accepting more and wanting more. so again, it's going to vary on the where you are, what country you are in. but um, since i live in the u. s, this has been the experience over here. are there a specific cosmetic treatments that have become more affordable or expensive over time, cosmetic procedures that became affordable? well, one whitening the simplest one. so people that just want to white then,

and we'll be happy with that because of that if it's used to be going through the dentist now, you can get them over the counter. you have the, the crests whitening strips and other brands that are available over the counter or even at the dentist office it became affordable to do the whitening. that's one to you have the tooth colored composite present. you know, the bomb being referred to as layman's termism bonding, and that's also more affordable than the porcelain. and sometimes in the past, the people wanted to have traits or to use. uh, they have, there was nothing wrong with that. the, the, just a little bit crowded and they, you know, they, they would get veneers, which in my opinion i think would be way over treatment. now you can simply do something like an invisalign, right? use some clear liners and you can straightening your teeth. and then wiping them, and you'll have an amazing smile. that's natural,

that's yours and conservative. so that's also less cost. now, good straight teeth are often the result of good genes. so what countries are known for requiring very little ortho work versus what countries have a higher proportion needing ortho work? shy things, do you, as i can tell you real quick probably around the late nineties or early 2000, there was a show called smile make over this and they realized that and that would show what it's like to reality. tv on, on television, also tends and you day people would do plastic surgery, people will do all kinds of stuff. but then the minute they changed it to you, you see that impact. we do all and then that's when the rise in popularity of cosmetic dentistry became a, you know, evident into us. so i would say the u. s. probably does the most, you can just look on tv. i think it's also people. unfortunately,

i hate to say this, but people judge you in the u. s. based on your seats, you know, uh, but in, in places and other places like in some, some countries of europe. or, you know, places, at least, i mean, i'm originally from loving on. cuz it's different when i go there, i don't know, but i'm looking to see that it's not the same. so it's cultural. now, some places where culturally it's acceptable to have spaces. as a matter of fact, i have patients. i've seen patients when they were to say, i want to straighten, but i want to leave a space in between my front teeth. i want to keep that space and that's culturally acceptable to them. so the, the other thing is it depends on the regions, the social economic status of the person. these also play play a role. so, but i think the us, they do aspects the prize for a more,

the straightening. so maybe some other places like brazil, how or heavy on cosmetic dentistry? i know maybe a south korea, maybe japan. thank you so much dr. joseph kelly ill for all your time today. cosmetic dentistry like veneers are growing in popularity. things to social media veneers have revolutionized smile makeovers and have allowed people to bypass orthodontist altogether. but dentistry experts believe that people are being marketed crowns as veneers. in this instance, about 60 percent of the tooth is drilled away, leading to major risks and infections, and root canals down the road. a crown last for 12 to 15 years. and after that, you won't have much of a tooth left to work with after that. there's also the possibility of overbuilding . veneers, making them appear bulky, and this can only result in gum disease,

not to mention difficult eating or speaking. but the sad part is that perfectly good, healthy teeth are drilled away, making veneers, and irreversible decision. unfortunately, many people are left with less than perfect smiles as a result of seeking an unqualified professional to save on cost. i'm christy, i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything. the show room just don't have to shape out the application and engagement because the trails when so many find themselves will support we choose to look so

common ground the the top stories right here will not see as ukrainian forces attempt to reach the russian border with a full back them and heavy losses with 195 of the troops killed on site. this from the way. typically, i am sure that you recognize just help perilous this time is for our country and what difficult challenges lie ahead of us in almost every direction. its core meaning is that you only use the citizens of russia can decide the future of your home. any of all the election, the russian president colon combinations, people to invite costs of that. but also in the program africa's logic the economy . nigeria, lifting its signing, showed this against neighboring, needing chair and a sign of improving ties. we hear from a former.
