Average Dental Wait Times and American Dental Care
Many Americans find themselves complaining about the costs of oral care, particularly when they do not have dental insurance to help subsidize the costs. However, in the United States we are fortunate, compared to other countries that have extreme wait times just to get in for a check-up and cleaning. In Australia those in need of oral care have been known to wait for as little as a year and as long as six; with even longer waiting periods for those in need of services relating to dentures.

Oral care is important, and while in the United States sometimes costs can cause people to delay necessary dental services; at least we do have access available to us when we need it.
At ToothSavers we try to accommodate timelines and costs so care doesn’t need to be delayed for any reason. We have patients that travel around the New York area to come to our practice because of what we can offer. Here’s a testimonial from one of our patients:
“At first I thought it was ridiculous to travel 60 miles from my home to have dental work done. Well, it was well worth the trip! I must commend the staff for their courtesy in getting us in and getting us out!”
