Dentistry

A root canal in California is $1250. Many people forsake dental work because of the price. Maybe I should go to Canada or Mexico ?

Then the problem is lack of dentists. It’s a free market.

Do you think the cost of a service goes up or down when it is more available and there is more competition?

For root - canal treatment you will also need a gimlet. I have one if you need it.

Here, in Canada when you go to the dentist, they ask if you have "coverage/insurance". If you say no, then the cost drops substantially. It's no wonder dental insurance is so high eh?
