I can easily imagine someone who don't brush their teeth ever to spend like $1000 a year for cavity repairs (because, well, I did).

So I guess $20k is near to the market price you could expect people to pay for a lifetime (with refills and no cavities guarantee) for this product.

If $20k it too much for you, just wait for cheaper generics.



That's not the point — the critique (as I understand it) is about the way in which it's presented.


Capitalism at its finest. A civilization should be measured at how it treats the poorest. By selling such an incredible cure (if it's really working) for thousands of dollars makes it impossible for the low-income class to purchase.
