[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with good shoes.

[b]Also, we pay for an extra dental cleaning[/b] (so 3 a year, not 2) and find that it has had an overall improvement in quality of life/health. As a result, we see a savings.

I do think that there's a difference though between splurges and investments.

To me splurges are those things that have no monetary return, but brighten life: good cheese, high quality soaps, etc.[/quote]

I don't get this.  Were you having cavities with 2 cleanings per year, and now you have fewer cavities per year?

We are 2 adults 2 children, and we get our teeth cleaned once a year (actually much less frequently for us adults) and none of us ever has a single cavity.  Kids are tweens.   I have a terrible dental phobia and only see the dentist in my hometown, once waited 4 years, still, no cavities or issues, thank god.  We do all brush 2x day.  [/quote]

Dental health is a little more than just avoiding cavities.  My dental insurance pays for cleanings 3x per year for people with certain conditions, including pregnant women and diabetics (there are others, I just don't remember them).  Gum health has been tied to many other health conditions.  [/quote]
