Question Assumptions

When setting up life in Switzerland, we've noticed some differences from things we take for granted in the US.  One of the notable ones is that dental treatment is not part of the basic health insurance. Then, when you buy a premium coverage package, you are basically only covered for one cleaning a year.

At first, I rejected this idea. I thought that if I get two cleanings a year in the US, I should get the same everywhere. But, then, I decided to question the assumption. The Swiss have some of the healthiest people in the world. Do we really need two dental checkups a year? Only time will tell. I suspect it's not good or bad - just different.
