so in germany i paid nothing for my braces, nothing for getting my wisdom teeth removed and its 20 euros for a thoroughly clean up. everyone is insured and its an insurance that covers every medical issue. i pay 91 euros a month for that. this video made me appreciate this a lot
Mouth doctors (I have zero reason to call them dentist's because it affects your entire health) should be part of regular insurance. The costs are ridiculous!!!
Wow this video made me so appreciative that my parents could afford dental care. They paid for braces, a permanent crown and root canal after I knocked my front tooth out falling off my bike, my wisdom teeth surgery. Some people have good genetics with teeth, and others are more prone to cavities and such. Through no fault of their own. Yes our healthcare system is so fucked, I’m glad you’re addressing this! Your teeth look great btw!
My dentist actually got in trouble because he was billing people's insurance for "cancer screenings" and making BANK off of it when it wasn't necessary. Putting two kids thru USC is rough but uh don't scam your patients. I bet he's not alone in doing that.
my teeth were a big insecurity for me growing up my grandma didnt want to pay for me to get braces but she offered to pay for my uncles (her son) he said no to get me some and she just didnt say anything. but im 22 i just got my braces 6 months ago and its the best ever i love them! im paying them myself btw
I’ve had SO many problems with my teeth, I’ve had braces 3 times and still struggle with liking my smile. It’s been such a painful and stressful experience and I don’t think people really understand how much it can take a toll on your confidence. Your smile is beautiful though! I wish I had your teeth lol.
this video makes me appreciate the national health service we have in the UK soooo much more because we get our checkups for free and you can get braces for free too if you're 16 or under and you qualify for them.
this is the realest vid i have watched in a while, thank you for validating the struggles and issues i feel like ive been dealing with as a 23 year old. so much respect
Happy birthday qween. My teeth are my biggest insecurity as well, i was so jealous of my sister who was able to get braces. I sadly couldn't get them cause we could only afford for one of us to get them so i'm like really feeling you on this one
Maggie Foster | Were your sister’s teeth worse than yours at the time? I know another family that had to choose and the one with the super crowded teeth now has a perfect smile and the other one still had kind of messy teeth. She decided to get adult braces at 31 and still says it’s the best decision she ever made. If you can afford it, go for it. It’s never too late. And with regular braces you know that they really change your bite properly.
Eleonore Bon It honestly was just timing- she's older than me so she got them first and when it came time for me to get them our family fell into some financial hardships so braces for me were just out of the question. Just one of those things! I'm definitely considering braces now though 🤗
I used to be embarrassed about being Native American, and something needing to go to the tribal clinic in Oklahoma. Especially when my parents were having financial problems and we couldn’t afford to go to the “normal” doctors or dentists in Arkansas. When it came time to have my wisdom teeth removed I could’ve had my orthodontist refer me to a dental surgeon in Arkansas and still have to pay a massive amount, or I could go to Oklahoma to the tribal dental clinic and have it done for free. Obviously, we chose the free route and I’m thankful that we did that it was the same procedure done by a qualified dental surgeon just free.
With such beautiful eyes as you have, who cares about your teeth? If you didn't draw my attention to it I would never have noticed. Besides, little imperfections give character to a face. And yours is lovely.
Being poor is expensive! People who are well off save so much money in the long run because they can afford to do preventative things like go to the dentist and doctor regularly and invest in high quality things that will last a long time vs. lower income people who can only spend money when they absolutely have to and they end up having to pay a fortune. It's messed up. Anyway, happy birthday!
my dentist is actually a family friend and for a while our lil group would go camping out in the desert, and one time one of my brackets had come loose and the wire was poking THROUGH my mouth so he had to pull up with some random tools and yank that all out of my mouth. i also just found out at my last check up that there’s still bracket glue on a tooth that wasn’t removed properly from like five years ago when i got my braces taken off 🙃 glad you’re feeling confident dude! ALSO how’s the caring for yourself journey thing going? update the peopleee
I got so sad when you mentioned the cost of dental healthcare 😓😕. I'm French but I live in Spain and curing a cavity costs about 50€ (for the tooth like color). It doesn't make any sense to me there is such a huge difference of price between the silver and tooth like colors as they probably require the same amount of time...
I feel the same right now !! I need a tooth implant and root canal treatments which adds up to 5k...i still havent gotten the treatment. I also recently did a silver lining for one tooth. Please talk about this more.
Happy Birthday Girl!! My teeth are one of my biggest insecurities since high school. I got braces this year while in College. Paying out of pocket, $5, 495 to be exact. I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out 💸 now I just found out I had a cavity 😩. It’s all going to be worth it in the end. I hope.
thank you for this video! I was lucky enough to have my parents pay for my top braces when I was 10, but unfortunately I neglected my teeth at that age and ended up with white demineralized spots on all of my upper teeth. It's been over 10 years and they have improved a bit, but I am currently researching and trying to pay for veneers. Veneers are sooo expensive and I wish I hadn't gotten my braces when I was so young and careless :/
I didn't want to get braces when I got them. My parents didn't really give me a choice even though I was 11. They hurt for a week, I sucked at brushing my teeth before that, and after it was even worse because stuff got stuck everywhere. Considering Smile Direct Club and Invisalign already existed, I wish I would've been brave enough to ask for them. But I had (and often still do) struggle to tell my parents stuff or ask them for things.
Happy Birthday Tiffany!! :) thanks for the video, i feel less lonely/weird now! I grew up in a pretty poor family where it was impossible for my mum to send me to the dentist because she could'nt afford it :-( i had pretty gross teeth with baby teeth that did'nt want to fall out and adult teeth growing ontop of them (yes looks as gross as it sounds..) and yet i could'nt do anything about it (to young to be able to make enough money to take care of my teeth alone) like you i envyed all the people around me who hated having braces when that was all i was dreaming about!! it went to the point were i became pretty obsessed with teeth and wanted to become an orthodontist!! i now just finished y studies and have lots of student debt to pay back... but one of the first things i want to do once i find a full time job is... take care of my teeth with the social insurance my job will (hopefully) have!! (oh yea, and i live in france, so i guess it's the same everywhere, when you are poor, you get crappy teeth, woohoo!!) congrats anyway on going through the treatment, your teeth look great!! :)))))
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIFFANY 🎂🎉🎂🎉🎂🎉 hope you're having a great day! By the way, I know that this doesn't mean much if someone says this if you're insecure about something, but I LOVED your teeth! Not that they don't look great now, but I could never imagine that you would've been insecure about your teeth because I always thought that they looked great and were unique. Anyway, your teeth are super straight and look great now 😊 By the way, I'm from Germany and I feel so damn sorry that you need to spend that kind of money on dental health and health in general. Health is the most important thing we have and you shouldn't have to go into debt for this. Hope your president gets his head out of his ass and his fingers off of Twitter and take care of this.
Girl, I'm also terrified. I have had invisalign, they told me to get my wisdom teeth out after treatment so my teeth wouldn't crowd. But honestly my teeth are okay, not too crowded to the point where I would spend 1000s to get them pulled... :/ Still don't understand why it's about 500 for 1 tooth. Still stuck on what I should do. Get the teeth out or just let them hang out and have slightly moved bottom teeth. And Happy birthday!! Welcome to the nobody likes you club :)
I came here to find out about your experience with SDC. I had two wisdom teeth pulled last week at the bargin dentist for $250 a tooth. They gave me local anaesthetic only, and after not having gone to the dentist for 8 years I was one scary crunching sound away from leaving with PTSD. We didn't really get into cavities, though I'm shocked the dentist didn't say my mouth is full of them... If it wasn't so expensive I absolutely would have kept going regularly. If you're broke, my advice is to try to save up to get your wisdom teeth out by you mid 20s. I'm 34 and it's taken me a lot longer to heal (read more pain) than if I had my wisdom teeth removed 10 years ago.
Omg same! I had crowding on the bottoms and top teeth. I felt like I was so insecure that I never wanted to smile or talk. I finally got braces that I’m paying for myself and it’s been life changing. I actually love smiling now it’s such a weight off my shoulders
I had them for 1.5 years (my teeth were quite fucked up prior). Some of my friends had them for 4-5 years because their dentists didn't pay enough care to them I guess and they didn't tighten the wires regularly. Everytime I went to the dentist (every month and a half I believe?) she tightened my braces so much I would have to gargle with vodka for the next few hours/days to make my gums and roots stop hurting lol. But then again, I went from horrible teeth to perfectly straight ones in 15 months or so. (And they haven't moved much since so I think the dentist did a pretty great job).
Most dentists require payment upfront around here too. Insured or not. If you are gonna owe $1200 after insurance you have to pay that upfront. If you don't have a credit card (like so many low-income people don't and can't get approved *raises hand*, it LITERALLY makes it impossible.
I'm really considering doing this. But I have a huge overbite so idk if it'll work for me. I didn't go to the dentist for seven years! But I didn't have any cavities thankfully. Since then I had one shallow one. Now I'm back to having garbage insurance so who knows when the next time I'll see a dentist is. 🤷
Haha I totally feel you on the insecurity thing, my teeth aren't even that bad but every time I see a video i really notice it, fortunately I'm getting braces next month but it's hard watching everyone you know get braces in middle/high school
I got the tooth colored thing you're talking about! I'm assuming you mean a crown? BAM $1600. But I had dental insurance that covered $400 of it so I paid $1200 lol. Also I want to say I'm proud of you tiffany! I can tell that you are really working hard to be a responsible adult and it's really great. Your future self will really appreciate it
It’s so sad how much you have to spend on something that only gives you pain, also how you want to avoid it as much as possible for something so important which also won’t get better as you wait longer to go to the dentist. My mother is able to pay all my dentist bills and I’m so freaking greatful for that because my teeth are shit and i have to get something done all the time, it just sucks how much it costs. I live in Austria and we have great health insurance and dentist appointments still cost a shitload of money, it’s just so stupid it makes going there even more uncomfortable and it just makes you angry because going to the dentist sucks. My mother has had a dentist phobia and her teeth were the worst, as she went there 20 years later she had to do so much it cost her nearly as much as a car would, so having very good role models in that topic i can only recommend you.. please go to the dentist regularly, even if it sucks like hell, because it really only gets worse
just reminded me I got 5/6 cavities filled and haven't been to the dentist for the last one in a year... Only cost £69 for 5 in Scotland tho, bless the NHS
Whenever diagnosed w having cavities you should always try to get a second opinion and/or ask them to show you where each one is cuz a lot of times dentists lie. I had one tell me I had 7 cavities then I went to a different dentist who said I had none. Haven’t had a cavity ever (knock on wood)
I used to be so insecure about my teeth, but lucky for me, I live in a country where braces are super cheap when you're under 18. So I got them when I was 10, which is rather early, so I was the only one with braces in my class. Kids definitely stared a lot, but I was just happy that my teeth were getting fixed :)
Have you thought about going on medi-cal Tiffany? It makes healthcare completely free if you make under a certain amount. They cover everything for your health and teeth. I've gotten 5 cavities with white filler, deep cleanings and X-rays. Your a California resident still I think right?
Dental should be included with health insurance. Silver fillings last 40 years. "Bonded" fillings (tooth color) last only 5 years and have to be replaced sooner.
I went for a dental checkup for the first time 2 days ago after being under student health care for the last 4.5 years and when she told me the price after i was like that's f'd up......
ugh girl 2018 was the same for me I had 6 cavities filled and a root canal like EXCUSE ME?? definitely 1/10 would not recommend not going to the dentist in between age 16 and 21 -
I remember you once mentioned not understanding why people use electric toothbrushes and toothpaste with fluoride. When that’s the easiest way to avoid cavities.
tiffanyferg | oh, perhaps I’m confusing you with another youtuber, it was someone using a more natural toothpaste. Sorry, I’m sure I got things mixed up! I’m very precise when it comes to dental care, that’s why I remember. I was raised in a family where they’d rather hear that I joined a gang, than that I had a cavity. I still have none and I’m almost 40. But I live in the Netherlands, so 1) I would be insured for all the treatments you mentioned and 2) the prices are just much lower. But you’re right, dental care is healthcare. There is no real difference.
I have to get an implant on one of my front teeth due to dental trauma I am super lucky to be able to get it on the NHS. I try to take the best care of my other teeth but I am super self conscious about my front teeth especially when alot of youtubers and celebrities have perfect teeth.
I was getting my teeth looked at in Russia recently (cuz that's where I lived for a while), and they said I had a little cavity that they wanted to work on real quick. Long story short, they did a root canal on me without my knowledge or consent ✌️ Only figured it out when I was fidgeting and they said "Hey, quit shifting around, this is an operation you know."
I had those teeth colored composites as s teen only to realize they were put in wrong and bacteria can grow under the filling leading to a uncleanable tooth that led to 2 roooooot canals so expensive so awful
yeah dude my parents insurance ran out and my night guard broke and it cost 300$ to replace without even having a new mold made! three hundos for plastic to be poured into a hole so i wont file my teeth down to their creamy centers
Sometimes I feel like dying because my teeths are also ruined and I can't fix it because my family can't afford it I really don't know what to to😔😔😔 Help please 😔
Girl I know this is an old video but I had to share... my teeth look almost exactly like your old teeth lol. Also, I didn’t go to the dentist for like 6 years so I ended up needing to have 9 surprise cavities filled! Lol... Imagine my shock. Thankfully my parents paid for them. Don’t know what I would’ve done if they didn’t 😅 take care of your teeth kids...
I’ve always been so insecure about my teeth and I’m so thankful my braces were covered on the NHS. I had to get them twice as my orthodontist didn’t notice that my two front teeth were completely different lengths after she took my braces off the first time so I had to fight to get them again six months later and I’m so thankful I went through all that. My teeth aren’t perfect as my two front teeth are still a little off but I feel so much better for it as my teeth were atrocious (I didn’t realise how bad until I look back on the few photos I have smiling with my teeth showing and it’s shocking). I honestly never noticed your teeth before this actually but they look so good! I’m so happy that you faced your insecurity. Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ❤️
so in germany i paid nothing for my braces, nothing for getting my wisdom teeth removed and its 20 euros for a thoroughly clean up. everyone is insured and its an insurance that covers every medical issue. i pay 91 euros a month for that. this video made me appreciate this a lot
Same in Slovenia. It's a very good system, allthough it has some corruption.
Mouth doctors (I have zero reason to call them dentist's because it affects your entire health) should be part of regular insurance. The costs are ridiculous!!!
Wow this video made me so appreciative that my parents could afford dental care. They paid for braces, a permanent crown and root canal after I knocked my front tooth out falling off my bike, my wisdom teeth surgery. Some people have good genetics with teeth, and others are more prone to cavities and such. Through no fault of their own. Yes our healthcare system is so fucked, I’m glad you’re addressing this!

I’ve been watching you for a while and tbh I never noticed your teeth? Hahaha
Emily Fisher me too! I’m so focused on her pretty eyes!!
i love crooked teeth like yours! i think they add character and are super cute honestly.
I’ve had SO many problems with my teeth, I’ve had braces 3 times and still struggle with liking my smile. It’s been such a painful and stressful experience and I don’t think people really understand how much it can take a toll on your confidence. Your smile is beautiful though!

You're so such a role model I think I'm starting to look up to you and I've never looked up to anyone

We’re birthday twins ♎️ I’m binge watching your content at the moment ahaha
I’ve been watching you since you were in like 8th grade lol your smile is beautiful🙌🏼
happy birthday🎉❤️

I came here to find out about your experience with SDC. I had two wisdom teeth pulled last week at the bargin dentist for $250 a tooth.

happy bday cutie. really really really considering doing sdc after I graduate!
“They had braces for a year or two”.... LOOOL. Had them for 5 years and counting.
I had them for 1.5 years (my teeth were quite fucked up prior). Some of my friends had them for 4-5 years because their dentists didn't pay enough care to them I guess and they didn't tighten the wires regularly.
Everytime I went to the dentist (every month and a half I believe?) she tightened my braces so much I would have to gargle with vodka for the next few hours/days to make my gums and roots stop hurting lol.

7 years here
Counting over 2 years now
Thank you Tiffany for this video
Happy b-day. The old tooth was very noticeable but you are looking great now. 🥓👍
HBD dude
This summer I went to a new dentist and I got scammed :(
Happy Birthday!

Currently brushing my teeth
Dental should be included with health insurance.
Silver fillings last 40 years. "Bonded" fillings (tooth color) last only 5 years and have to be replaced sooner.
As a French with insurance and social security, this makes me so sad for Americans.... That said, I love your videos Tiff!
Can we have an update on livia? And period cramp stuff ? 😄 It's been 4 years
Did you manifest all this? Lmaooo I watched that video earlier today and I laughed so hard. You’re awesome!!!
I have a dentist appointment on Monday and im pretty sure im getting a root canal so thats awesome
I went for a dental checkup for the first time 2 days ago after being under student health care for the last 4.5 years and when she told me the price after i was like that's f'd up......
Thank you for your teeth and healthcare advocacy TFerg, Happy Birthday!! 🎂☭
ugh girl 2018 was the same for me I had 6 cavities filled and a root canal like EXCUSE ME?? definitely 1/10 would not recommend not going to the dentist in between age 16 and 21 -
I remember you once mentioned not understanding why people use electric toothbrushes and toothpaste with fluoride. When that’s the easiest way to avoid cavities.
tiffanyferg | oh, perhaps I’m confusing you with another youtuber, it was someone using a more natural toothpaste. Sorry, I’m sure I got things mixed up! I’m very precise when it comes to dental care, that’s why I remember. I was raised in a family where they’d rather hear that I joined a gang, than that I had a cavity. I still have none and I’m almost 40. But I live in the Netherlands, so 1) I would be insured for all the treatments you mentioned and 2) the prices are just much lower. But you’re right, dental care is healthcare. There is no real difference.
I have to get an implant on one of my front teeth due to dental trauma I am super lucky to be able to get it on the NHS. I try to take the best care of my other teeth but I am super self conscious about my front teeth especially when alot of youtubers and celebrities have perfect teeth.
I was getting my teeth looked at in Russia recently (cuz that's where I lived for a while), and they said I had a little cavity that they wanted to work on real quick. Long story short, they did a root canal on me without my knowledge or consent ✌️ Only figured it out when I was fidgeting and they said "Hey, quit shifting around, this is an operation you know."
also happy birthday!!
Beautiful you could come to Turkey cheap and best dentists we have a lot of them
...
I have tik tak teeth tooooooo 😒
*feel less lonely*
Happy birthday you have a very beautiful smile & i absolutely love your pretty eyes :)
I've never had to pay to get a tooth extracted where i live wow i think a lot of people here take it for granted
Je suis française et je suis toujours étonnée quand je vois les prix des soins à l'étranger. Merci la sécurité sociale.
I had those teeth colored composites as s teen only to realize they were put in wrong and bacteria can grow under the filling leading to a uncleanable tooth that led to 2 roooooot canals so expensive so awful
You should've gotten them in Cambodia removing the wisdom tooth only costs like $150...
From France this is sur real to me
yeah dude my parents insurance ran out and my night guard broke and it cost 300$ to replace without even having a new mold made! three hundos for plastic to be poured into a hole so i wont file my teeth down to their creamy centers

I didn't go to the dentist for 4ish years and now I need 2 root canals FUCK
Sometimes I feel like dying because my teeths are also ruined and I can't fix it because my family can't afford it I really don't know what to to😔😔😔
Help please 😔
:) preach
Girl I know this is an old video but I had to share... my teeth look almost exactly like your old teeth lol. Also, I didn’t go to the dentist for like 6 years so I ended up needing to have 9 surprise cavities filled! Lol... Imagine my shock. Thankfully my parents paid for them. Don’t know what I would’ve done if they didn’t 😅 take care of your teeth kids...
I’ve always been so insecure about my teeth and I’m so thankful my braces were covered on the NHS. I had to get them twice as my orthodontist didn’t notice that my two front teeth were completely different lengths after she took my braces off the first time so I had to fight to get them again six months later and I’m so thankful I went through all that. My teeth aren’t perfect as my two front teeth are still a little off but I feel so much better for it as my teeth were atrocious (I didn’t realise how bad until I look back on the few photos I have smiling with my teeth showing and it’s shocking). I honestly never noticed your teeth before this actually but they look so good! I’m so happy that you faced your insecurity. Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ❤️
😍😍
Love u TIFFANYYYY X
Did you fix your teeth?
Go trump! Oh sorry I forgot your talking about your teeth. Yes very nice teeth.
