Why is it a pack of three Oral B Pulsar toothbrushes in the USA cost $9.99 but it costs $10.20 each in the UK?

Depends on where it is manufactured, and hence the difference in manufacturing costs. Or if it is imported, then the import duty.

I don`t know but, I certainly agree with you.. It is a crying shame when the Government will pay for Viagra so OLD men can get it on, But the average middle class person doesn`t get any kind of dental care.. \n\nI mean it is ridiculous to pay $150.00 to have ONE tooth pulled. Which takes the dentist all of five minutes to pull. For crying out loud. That is very good money for five minutes work.. \n\nAnd on top of that. I knew someone who died at 42 due to having bad teeth. So it is NOT like it is ONLY a cosmetic thing. It is a serious health issue.. \n\nIt is sad in OUR Country that anyone has to do without health care..

You better shop around. I was in the same situation back in 99, and got a really bad deal. I ended up paying almost 3000 for finishing up the treatment that would have cost me almost half of it in Sweden and the guy did a lousy job.\n\nMake sure you have all the paperwork with you, and if you can get your samples that were done before you started the treatment try to convince you dentist to give them to you.\n\nAnd also, be care full with the American dentists, they have a nasty habit of "fixing" you problem by cutting the side of your teeth to speed up the process, you end up having many problems a few years later.\n\nDentists in the US are either really good or awful, so you should try to find someone who can recommend you a good one, and pick it even if it is a bit more expensive, paying less in the US means you get a 3rd world quality treatment.

Depending on where you live in the U.S. the cost can range anywhere from $550.00 - $1200.00 each.  Also know that they do frequently come off and have to be recemented which can be a pain.

i had 2 MRI's taken (both were for my back) the cost was $900 for the first one, and the 2nd one cost $1200. Shocking isnt it? My out of pocket was 20% as insurance picked up the rest. I now live in europe and my husband has had an MRI done, the cost to him was 0 as its socialized medicine. Somethings wrong with the american health system big time!!!!

I have both Sonicare toothbrushes and greatly prefer the higher priced one. \nThe head is smaller, so it fits my mouth better. It is much more comfortable to use since it is on a slant rather than straight.\nIt also has a case to put it in if you are traveling, a longer warranty, and also a plastic stand to put your toothbrush head in that attaches to the wall, so it frees up counter space.\nI highly recommend the higher priced Sonicare!

Oral B is the market leader in electric toothbrushes. I recently bought the "Triumph" model, and it seems to clean better than any toothbrush I had before. \nRemember that brushing is not enough. The best toothbrush cannot replace flossing. You have to brush and floss to really clean your teeth. Probably any electric toothbrush together with flossing once a day regularly is better than the best electric toothbrush alone.

depends on where you live, in the US it should cost you about 1000 dollars per tooth.

It appears they're dirt cheap on eBay.  I went to eBay UK and search for "dx3800" and it came up with the following:\n\nhttp://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.co.uk%2Fws%2F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=DX3800&category0=\n\nThere are loads of sets of 4 or 12 cartridges for about £5, so I think that's the sort of thing you're after.  Double check all the details first of course, and don't be afraid to ask the seller any questions.  You don't need to be in a rush to buy them - there's SO many on there ending all the time.\n\nAll the best - I hope that helps!

part of the price depends on your zip code.  bigger cities have bigger prices.  i usually tell patients to expect about $3000 out of posket mainly because insurance rarely covers implants.  i'd say you didn't get the best deal but you were'nt unfairly charged.

Yes it is too much, I worked for a dentist and a gold crown was 895. It is outrageous, shop around. If your insurance is participating, normally they would pay half. If you're going to pay full price shop around and go to another office!

here, this should help:\nhttp://www.xe.com/ucc/\n\nthought, if you just want a rough estimate, 1 UK is usually equal to 2 US\nnot exactly, but its rounded.\n\nso about double the price.
