My children wear braces so every month they go to the dentist, today is the day. It is a fixed expense that we have, we pay every month 110€ at the dentist for these appointments. Expensive in my opinion but my children really need this treatment and thank God we can pay it. It is another sunny day, so pleasant these temperatures, we are having 24ºCelcius today.

How is your day going? Do you have fixed expenses every month? Picture took from my work today.

My children wore braces too and I remember those visits and the expense involved. But it all was worth it in the long run

Dentists are too expensive, some high costs make no sense. We have the usual fixed expenses, gas, electricity, Internet, no dentist. The weather was wonderful today, but the wind cold.

@nela13 At least we do not have the extra Covid fee, but even a simple tooth cleaning is expensive.

@LadyDuck It is really expensive and that is the main reason why so many people avoid going to the dentist. Oral health is so important that the prices should be more affordable.

Yes, some costs are really high and here they have an extra covid fee now, which is ridiculous.

I had braces twice, my two boys did, and my granddaughter has them. It’s just something that we do. Paying was never a problem thankfully.

Thankfully it isn't a problem for us too but I think dentists should be more affordable.

I'm glad it's a fixed payment and not unexpected. That seems like a warm day. Yes, I have a couple of fixed payments. Pretty picture.

I like normal days, those that we don't have extra things to do.
