Europe too develops a lot of tech[1]. And uses it for a lot less than the US.

In France (Paris area), the price for a dental visit including 1-2 xrays is €42.00[2]. This is the pre-negotiated rate between dentists and the state insurer. Dentists are free to charge more but they must display prominent signage indicating they don't follow standard rates.
