How long does the process take? What is the overhead (space / equipment / other costs)? And therefore, how much is the provider earning per hour?

About 20 minutes, some disposable gloves, a disposable toothbrush head impregnated with toothpaste. So about €25 an hour. Commercial rents for small spaces are dirt cheap here - probably about €600/mo. That’s probably the driving factor in the U.K. - commercial property is eyewateringly expensive.

  • Respectfully, that's brushing the teeth, which is a subset of dental cleaning.

    Dental cleaning requires dental tools and anesthesia.

  • What about labor costs? I'm not GP but I appreciate this sort of breakdown. I wouldn't have considered that commercial RE for small business is much cheaper in Portugal than GB.
