  • Hard but brittle :s

  • my worst dentist experience was in USA. I was going to get braces & the orthodontist was checking my mouth & told me to stick my tongue out & when i did they said "THAT'S ALL?" & told me I had to get the bottom of my tongue clipped & 4 other teeth extracted.Before the day, I went to the family doctor & my mom asked about it & he said my tongue is perfectly fine. we tried to persuade the surgeon but he declined. it was waste of money and I couldn't talk for a month or eat much. T_T

  • cercl

  • HA my wifes father is dentist! I always go to Japan and get my teeth fixed for free! Its really good because normally i hate to go to the dentist (dentist fear) at least now i wont need to be scared and robbed of money at the same time. :P

  • Tomoko is so cute! : D

  • 5*

  • You are so much nicer than the JapanChannel guy.

  • you paid only 1000 yen because of you national health insurance.. My brother came in Japan last year and need an chirurgical operation of a tooth .. and of course no natinonal health insurance in Japan right.. he was here with a tourist visa.. so the first dentist refused to do it because no insurance..

    the second one, accepted without insurance, but the total cast was ¥122,000 (¥100,000 for operation, and ¥22,000 3days latter for a check..)so if no insurance in Japan it s really expensive ;-) 

  • @MrLifeYou

    True, but your brother should have gotten travel insurance. I always get it when I go to a country where I have no insurance. It's cheap. Damn, too bad for your bro. That sounds painful....Live and learn. HOWEVER, my parents were here with no insurance and both got sick and both went to the doctor for a visit and it was less than $100 for both of them. I honestly don't know if there is a national policy for tourists.....

  • @Gimmeaflakeman I think he tried to get the money back once back in europe, and got it ( or a part of it)

    The problem here was that the operation was risky ( hole on the jaw's bone near the tooth) so he had to go to the dentist of british or us embassy, don't remember. ( the only one that accepted to help him.. was really really painful and absolutly need an operation... ) I guess when you have no choice, you have to pay lol

  • Tomoko is so animated. I love it!

  • Every 6 months?!

    I dont think I would be able to afford that haha

    The only time I went to the dentist was when I broke my front tooth in elementary school and years later when the piece broke off again xD

  • you wife is actually really pretty =) I again started watching your videos^^

  • Still here. Just late.

  • I went to the Dentist several times in Japan. The dentist kept asking me to come back. So instead of fixing all the probelms in one go (which I would have preferred). I had to go back six times to do 2 fillings. So I went to another Dentist and he did the same. So I've learnt that's how they make their money, ne.

  • @Koroodetto

    Actually Yoko has had the same experience. But I pretty much get what I want done ASAP. Maybe cuz I ain't as cute as you two?

    :)

  • @Koroodetto I had the opp experience. My dentist was MILES away & he'd always voice concern for me having to trek down there & would go out of his way to accommodate me. He also wouldn't do any unnecessary treatment. Once I begged him for an injection (such a wimp) before he started treatment and he refused. In the end, he said he'd start the procedure & if it hurt I could have an injection. It didn't hurt,lol. Minoura clinic in Kurokawa, Aichi on Meijo line if anyones interested. I had Masataka

  • @Koroodetto sensei. Lovely bloke. Although, judging from the animated way he spoke about visiting England briefly for training or something, I gather he may have a bit of a soft spot for Brits.

  • How was the iphone 4s launch in Japan?

  • Geez, dental work in general sounds super expensive (more so in the USA I think, that sounds like a great deal you got in Japan with your insurance). I think in Britain we have to pay for dentist appointments (not sure how much though) but the actual getting of braces for example is free as long as you're under 18 :) Again, no idea how much it is for over 18's :O It seems like a bit of a rip-off anyway, spending so much money on denatl work :(

  • I love yaeba teeth on japanese girls. Soo cute.

  • I like Calbee 「カルビー・グラノーラ」。It tastes semi-sweet and crispy. I have bought granola from abroad at MEIJIYA SAKAE STORE. That too hard to chue.

  • @LittleAstronaut

    いえ、日本の水道水にフッ素は入ってません

    Adding fluorine isn't done in Japan.

  • HI

  • 4 x-rays clean polish and capped nothing i live in UK NHS.

  • I Had a chipped tooth filled and shaped on Wednesday not been dentist in 7 years since thou.

  • Thank you for the video, glad I have insurance in Germany.

  • こんにちは!質問がありますが日本では水道にフッ素が入れていま­すか。:O

    来年日本に一年間にいるので知りたいなんですが。。。

  • aw, i missed you to

  • MISSED YOUUUUUUUU! :D

  • alwasy here waiting for new videos with Tomoko!! ;)

  • You still are a very handsome fellow.

  • I just went to my first vist in Japan. The clinic was clean and modern I had my teeth cleaned and a x-ray for about 3,500 yen. Oh...dental tech was great she explained how I was brushing my teeth wrong. I had a good experience !

  • great vid, and damn!!! that's some cheap dental work!!! :o

  • Yes, we are all still here, we were just taking a nap...

  • still watching!

    Uugh dentists in Canada are so damn expensive, you have to have great insurance to have it covered. I got two wisdom teeth out last February and it cost $1300, plus $275 previous to that for the "consultation". Thankfully I had insurance and they covered almost $1000! But it's still always a horrible experience going to the dentist ew.

  • Wow... $16... if it was that cheap here in the US I'd have nicer teeth. =(

    I can't wait to study naked >_o

    Thanks for the video. Good stuff. =D

  • I will always be watching your videos Victor.

  • I´d never realized this before until my friend made a comment like her teeth got weaker since she came here in JPN, she said the water here doesn´t have fluorine and BRA they have, i don´t know if it´s true. Anyway, Victor, how much would you pay if you didn´t have insurance? Thanx.

  • @Gimmeaflakeman I live in the U.S.

  • so...wait. with insurance you only paid about $50 total (x-ray, cleaning, crown)....I don't know what to say.

    I stopped going to my dentist (tried to rip me off) and a cleaning was $80!

  • @GreatGarloo

    Where'd you get $50? More like $15.

  • @Gimmeaflakeman aaaaaaaaagh! time to book a flight to Japan!

  • @Gimmeaflakeman haha should I tell you something ? When I got to the dentist, in any case, i pay around 0 $.. We in Germany don't have to pay for any doctors.. Just like 10Euro every 3 Months, but only if we are going to any doctor and if we paid the 10 Euro wen can come to the doctor in these 3 Months as often as we want to. So It sounds really odd when I hear how much you have to pay for that o.O.. We only have to pay if we want special things like golden dental crowns instead of white ones..

  • @RockGodFuck Surely you're paying for it indirectly (taxes).

  • @joetioeb for sure.. but the amount is fairly low and a lot of other things are included... for sure the doctors aren't working for nothing but when i hear about the amount you have to pay for doctors and medicines.. WOW !

  • Welcome back Victor! I'm glad to see you are back posting again. I think your shows are better than t.v.!

    The stuff they put in your mouth is a composite resin for tooth bonding. It replaces mercury and metal fillings. They use it here in the U.S. and it literally bonds with the tooth which makes it better than metal fillings.

    They sell daily fluoride rinse in the U.S. which helps make your teeth stronger and yes, your memory is right, the dental hygienist are pretty and young in the U.S.

  • I go to the dentist about once every 6 months here in Australia and all I remember every year is how hot the assistant is haha

  • I feel for ya Victor! Within the last 2 months I've had major oral surgery, had 7 teeth pulled, had a number of fillings, and now a new partial denture. $3000 *after* insurance! But now doing well and presentable. You're lucky it was just a little bit!

  • alittle off topic but just out of curiosity in a year and a half or 2 years maybe im planning to go to Japan to look for an english teaching job ... in your opinion which is a good start ? Ekiiwa ? or like teaching adults or kids ? and when im there how do i do such a thing ? do i just walk in the school and ask if they are hiring lol ? thanks ! @(^_^)@

  • She really looks like she feels your pain, ouch!

  • This was not the video I should have watched... tooth phobia, just thinking about the dentist gives me shivers. Though I have had a crown put on one of my molars (because of my wisdom tooth) and with insurance it was about $200 after all was said and done here in the States.

  • lick it and subscribe

  • I have ''yaeba'' for my 4 canines never had to buy fake vampire teeth for holloween :D

  • why they use mostly metal filling? don't they have ceramics?

  • トモこ、会いたい〜〜〜

    

  • I am alive! I got to this video late but i made it! Good to see you Victor and i know what its like to have a tooth ache. :( Very fun video as always though. I like how you look at the humor of things.

  • Man Victor I'm so glad you're back I was looking forward to a new video, glad to hear you're all better. Great video! One little remark, you put "you're tooth" in the subs, I guess you were a bit confused, just thought you might want to know! Thanks for the information!

  • @Niberugi

    Not confused. Just careless. D'oh! Hate making that mistake.

  • @Gimmeaflakeman It happens to the best of us!

  • In germany the insurance covers the cost for braces mostly...I don't know the complete cost, it's probably expensive but due to the insurance my sister only had to pay 400 euro, the rest was covered.

    I don't pay for check ups either. Well, if I go to a doctor for one I have to pay 10€ in a quarter of a year and can then go to as many doctors in that quarter without having to pay more if it's just a check up. As a girl you don't have to pay for contraceptives (the pill) either until you're 21.

  • とも子's facial expressions just rock! :D

    We love you^^.

  • I once broke a tooth because of a damn stone in my bread. It was really painful.

  • your wife is very pretty ^^

  • OMG! THat's so cheap for a dentist visit! In Denmark, you end up paying at least 100 dollars for a normal check up. If there's a cavity, it can easily run up to 300 dollars. Last time my father went to the dentist, he paid about 700 dollars....

  • Wow, crazy cheap! Then again, braces for several thousand dollars seem super expensive to me. Confusing. Good to have you back, Victor.

  • i must have a poster made of 0:15

  • one more thing : is enka a cool or pase thing to listen in japane ?

    Im just wondering becouse I really like for example 森山愛子 東京挽歌.

    would people look at me as geeke gaijin?

  • Ah, thanks for the video, I needed my Gimmeaflakeman fix.

  • Still alive and kicking. sorry to hear about the tooth man. Hope it doesn't happen again.

  • did you know that crabs dna does not detiriorate like other animales, we cant tell the age of a lobster and ther is a posibilitie that somewhere in deep oceans may live 1000 year old ones perhaps size of submarines this is legitymet biological theory

    preaty cool ha

  • I want to study naked , have you heard about mike headles chicken if not google it you ll freak out

  • we east europeans are known for having really bad teeth

  • maaaaaaaaan, only 16 bucks for it all?.. i'm in Finland and one doctor pulled out my tooth last year for 120 euros, and THAT was considered cheap here.... lucky bastards in Japan :)

  • You're subs are watching my videos (even if they don't understand nothing) xD. Glad you're back hope you don't have more complications, teeth hurt a LOT. Now go answer my email or yaeba are going to grow in your mouth muahahahaha.

  • Now that's why my subbox has been so slow lately!

  • Left a comment and said "hello"

  • About cavities: I have never had a cavity in all my life. I'm going to be getting braces on my crooked bottom teeth, but I'm afraid the braces will obstruct access from brushing. I take pride in the fact I've never had a cavity so I hope braces don't screw it up for me!

  • @DavePerry2012 I agree. The Japanese are super humble. But I'm sure Vic knows she finds him sexy. Haha. I'm with a French girl who'd laugh in my face if I ever complimented my own looks.

  • My dental hygeinist said good things about Japanese dentistry, and I am so glad to hear about it straight from the horse's mouth ;) For some reason, it's just one of those things I'm interested in, hm. Our dentistry in the US is so expensive, and possibly most people don't have dental insurance - it's just not as widely offered. And even if you have it, with monthly premiums and co-pays, it get very expensive. I just paid a $1500 bill :(

  • Kinda wierd outro :O

  • Good to see you both again.

    Glad you are feeling better - you are lucky to go so long without any cavities.

  • Dentist in the UK: You have to pay around 4,000 yen just to see the doctor. So many times I've been to the dentist, for him to look at my teeth for 2 minutes, say 'You have lovely teeth!" and then pay 4,000yen... grr...!!

  • Victor! I've missed you! Glad to hear you are feeling better. I too have an aching tooth, but it is getting better. *knocks on wood*

  • I think Tomoko was making this face: (^_^;) The nervous anime face, haha.

    Great to see you both back!

  • wow those cereals must have been hard like stone...

  • Just on a side note, I don't think Tomoko was criticizing you, Victor, when she reacted to you saying "I'm still good looking". She probably just thought it sounded like you were bragging about your looks (which are indeed very handsome). I don't think she was trying to come across like she thought your were ugly or anything like that.

  • In Fukuoka the dentist ladies are super hot. I'm wondering if i should go even though i don't have any problems :D

  • Ready and awaiting orders. over.

  • just going to dentist right now, so scared :(

  • Tomoko naked? :3::

  • @gamehead91

    huh?

  • Glad to see you back on track. :) I'm still here, as usual :p

  • You're right about the dental assistants in USA hahaha!!

  • Victor, how did you avoid cavities? Excellent oral hygiene or did you never have a fondness for sweets?

  • wait you were gone?? hmm nah just messing with you. But glad your doing better.

  • Im not dead! (^^)/ nice to see you guys again!

  • I missed u guys!!! <33333

  • 10 years ago when I was in high school, there was a Japanese student who came to stay for a year in Australia partly for study, but also to get cheaper braces. I found that interesting.

    Welcome back, Victor and Tomoko-san!

  • I think this is the weirdest vid I watched of yours.

  • I like Tomoko's facial expressons. :) She seems like such a character.

  • u have a broken tooth, i hae a broken leg....... this year is bad for some people

  • omg how sick was walking dead premiere????

  • Reminds me of in Lucky Star when they talk about going to the dentist. I'm curious how true to life it is.

  • Actually I asked Hiko if you were still alive. LOL. Tomoko looked panicked at being your wife(real wife is a hottie) I broke my front tooth last week eating a steak sandwich of all things. Got it fixed the next day. Didn't have to pay anything for it thanks to insurance. Got a cleaning an cavities fixed this week and still no copay.Tomoko gesture = Yeah, Right!

  • In Communist Sweden going dentist up to the age of 23 is free!

    Good thing ur back, I have missed your videos.

  • I"m not dead, I just Marty McFly'd it and went back to the future to say hi!

  • Your not alone: I cracked my tooth in half about 6 years ago while eating a biscuit at Denny's.

  • I died or else I'd comment.

  • Zombies... we've become zommmbiiieesssss,,, :-)

  • ええ!!!お前の奥さん美人です羨ましい-_-. I,am alive been awhile since you made a video though nice to see you back.

  • is Tomoko married ?

  • Yes, we still live!

  • MY DENTIST USES A GUN TOO but it seems to shoot uv rays or something.

  • Welcome back, good sir! I've been putting off going to the dentist since I got to Japan. I've heard a couple of stories from coworkers and friends who have had more invasive dental procedures (root canals, wisdom teeth removals and the like). The constant that runs through all of their tales is that Japanese dentists typically don't have anesthesia that is strong enough for many Westerners. Have you experienced anything like this, at the dentist or elsewhere?

  • Still here, Victor!

  • crowns in my state are $2,000 o.o

  • It's good to see you back, I was a little worried. I really look forward to your videos :D

  • Man I need to be sure to take care of any dental problems before I go over there cause I can't stand having dental work done on me; I can imagine the nightmare that it would be in a foreign country where I can't fully communicate with the dentist. I have bad gag reflexes.

  • I like girls with yaeba. It's really cute.

  • alive!!!

  • :)

  • Mr.Victor how do we get to go to japan do we need a visa or something?

  • @KidManga69

    You could swim. But since I don't know what country you're from I cannot advice you on the visa.

  • @Gimmeaflakeman They could use Visa to charge an airline flight...or Master Card.

  • @KidManga69 It is very simple. You purchase something called a plane ticket. This ticket is used to fly something called an airplane. Yeah, it flies in the sky. Once you arrive they will give you a visitor visa at the customs in Japan. And that is it.

  • No I am not dead! I am very much alive!!! :D

  • Boo Hoo I thought you hated us Victor.

    Glad your tooth is better I know what it feels like.

  • @romanobritish

    Brothers in dental pain!

  • I've been waiting for awhile for your new video haha

  • @AmericasYouth

    Thanks, man!

  • @Gimmeaflakeman Just so you know this is GratefulRoseStudio's new channel

  • AndySan is hurr!!

    Good to hear that you're okay, Victor!!

  • 心配無用、ビクターさん

  • Are chinese bitches loose?

  • welcome back victor

  • Welcome back Victor-san. I was wondering where you ran off to =)

  • Not so cheap if you calculate your insurance payments, I bet!

  • @tsjoencinema

    It's based on your income. If your salary is high so is your insurance!

  • I understand when you said that when your teeth are in pain you don;t want to do anything. I had a root-canal a few years ago and it was so painful.

  • Still here, Vic. Still alive...not dead...but walking dead. Walking Dead Season 2 is coming to town! hehehe

    so says, Oldy the ex-god.

  • welcome back!!!

  • I dont have insurance, and had a molar crack last month. It cost $780 USD to get a crown put on!!! But even with insurance it isnt cheap. My sister had to get a crown on one of her molars the month before, and even with her good insurance, it cost $550 USD! For some strange reason, dental insurance covers only a small percentage of the cost, while health insurance covers everything after you pay whatever your deductible is...

  • @SirReptitious

    Thanks for the info. Interesting!

  • I FINALLY see your wife! shes beautiful!

  • Welcome back Victor :)

  • Episode 1 of The Walking Dead season 2 was pretty rad! Though I must admit, I still prefer the graphic novels to the television show.

    Glad to see that you are feeling better! Toothaches are the worst!

  • Zomby army was busy as well, prepairing for halloween and all~~

  • The season two premiere of The Walking Dead was great! :-D Sucks that they only made 13 episodes for the season though! ;-(

  • I'm 18 years old and I've never been to the dentist.

  • Yeah...don't mind us, we're just zombies. 

  • 生きてますよ!心配してくれてありがとうございます (^.^)

  • Oh, there you are. Good to see you again. Now get back to work.

  • Yep,we're alive. >.>

  • You're a zombie!
