Dental Care and Gold Silver Prices

My philosophy is fake it until you make it and I apply it to everything, including my smile. As a result I have found out how my dental bills are directly linked to gold silver prices. I suffer from TMJ and have the unfortunate habit of literally grinding the dental work out of my mouth. While my teeth look pretty on the surface (making it) I have what feels like 1 oz gold bullion on my teeth (faking it) to keep my smile intact. When it comes to repairing tooth damage, there are countless materials that can be used; but for my mouth, gold is the only option and I have paid dearly for the necessity because of rising gold silver prices.

As a native New Yorker, my grin was tough as precious metal courtesy of my amalgam fillings, featuring silver. Silver prices have always been significantly lower than gold prices, and once upon a time I could pay a scant $75 to $100 to get a filling. Now I live in California and both my dentist and myself take the health warnings about mercury (another precious metal) in dental work very seriously and since I need help, I must buy gold for my teeth and when I do, the price of gold helps determine how much I have to pay for a filling.

In my mouth where there was once silver there is now gold (just work, not a bag of gold coins).  Gold fillings cost ten times more than other options and based on gold market updates, the price can be higher based on the gold silver prices at the time. That dental gold buying experience has provided with the belief that I may get 35 years out of my current smile, which I am thankful for as my guess is that gold prices have nowhere to go but out of this world and my teeth have nowhere to fall by out of my mouth!

When it comes to the price of dental work those who opt for silver or gold will pay their fee based on gold silver prices as well as the experience and technique implemented by the dentist. When it comes to a filling, a dentist will first remove the decay at the heart of the issue, that will leave a hole behind. The bigger the damage that needs to be repaired the more gold and silver will be used. Gold silver prices are a major force in the economy and the dentist will pass the cost of the precious metals onto the patient.

It is for that reason the cost of your dental care is influence by gold silver prices. Despite that relationship, individuals are advised to seek regular dental care as it can prevent having to buy gold and silver down the line. Rumor has it that for every $1 in dental care, consumers can save up to $50 in restorative care. Those savings can instead be funneled into a gold investment account where all cash saved is used to buy gold, buy silver and other precious metals.
