I've been doing this for years but my friends were utterly baffled when they found out. I have a cheap, copper plated tongue scraper from a knick-knack store and it does the job beautifully, virtually eliminating morning breath.

I do. I also floss, use mouthwash, and an electric tootbrush.

I'm not bragging, I didn't do it untill recently when I had to go to the dentist and despite having dental insurance I had to pay roughly a price of used car to get my teeth fixed.

I let myself go to the point where I can't financially afford not to.

Ja huch!!! Keine Zahnzusatz? Krankenkassen übernehmen kaum noch was vom Zahnarzt

[–] msrb711@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Jein.

Du musst verstehen, dass ich erst seit 2023 in Deutschland wohne und erst seit 2025 eine zusätzliche Zahnversicherung bezahle.

Die ursprüngliche Rechnung war deutlich höher. Ein Teil wurde durch die gesetzliche Krankenkasse bezahlt. Der zweite Teil wurde durch die zusätzliche Zahnversicherung bezahlt, aber das war abhängig davon, wie lange ich die Versicherung bezahle. In meinem Fall waren es ~18 Monate, weshalb die Summe, die die Versicherung bezahlte, gedeckelt war (trotzdem hat es sich gelohnt). Den Rest musste ich selbst bezahlen.

Ich muss auch sagen, dass es um mehrere Zähne und eine Kiefer-OP (Weisheitszahnentfernung) ging.
