Dentist are still pretty expensive where I live (West Europe), if you need anything more than basic care, you will pay €€€ and insurance won’t pay much.
I haven’t won the lottery and I already do all of these in the USA. My wife and kids go to the dentist as needed, as do I, and we go to the doctor anytime we need to. Our health and dental insurance are good, but we could still get medical / dental care without it if needed.
So you’d do things that are free in half of Europe + shopping?
Therapy is free in my (European) country… if you can find a vacancy or pay it yourself. So it isn’t.

True, but at least, the focus is highly on prevention and check ups now, which are free, which should reduce the need for crazier stuff more and more.
