What is the Best Deal in Dentistry? Teeth Whitening

A few days ago, I was in an ornery mood when I walked into a popular Chinese restaurant on the Plaza. As in most Chinese restaurants, they have the white board with neon ink showing the nightly specials. Chicken was that day’s special with a bevy of different sauces. After being seated and talking with the server, I asked, “What is the best deal here?” She did not know what I meant so I explained, “you know, what is the best entre for the dollar?” She told me the best deal was to order the chicken with vegetables and order it spicy. She said it was the same as the Chicken Hunan but cost a dollar less. Wow, pretty neat to know.

Armed with my new and intriguing question, I asked my friend’s daughter who worked at Target what the best deal at Target was. She told me it was hard to say, but the best deals in the store are at the end caps facing the walls away from the main isles. That is where they put items that are marked at low margins and they know smart shoppers will eventually scoop up. So now I know were the good deals are at Target also.

It really is a fun question to ask a store clerk, waiter or whomever. And it got me thinking, what is the best deal in dentistry? A cleaning and full set of x rays is over $200. Two tooth-color fillings is over $300 and a root canal can be $500-$1000. A porcelain crown can be $1000 or more. And other than the dental cleaning, none of these procedures are much fun to have done.

So what is the best deal in dentistry?
