It’s getting to be that way in the UK too.

It used to be that everyone could get an NHS dentist and get a lot of work done for free but not anymore. I think that we’re still all entitled to an NHS dentist but there aren’t enough of them so only kids have easy access.

isnt the conservatives trying to ruin NHS currently, defunding and privatizing it?

It's like this in Australia as well. Teeth are luxury bones and don't deserve to be covered by Medicare it seems.

Dent-icaid is covered in some states(medi-caid,care), but it really depends how much they cover. they dont cover anything outside of cavity fillings, root canals, other luxury bone preserving procedure are all out of pocket. i dont think most states are that extensive as california.
