It’s sad. They’re not just luxury bones in the US either. National healthcare here in Estonia only covers dental until you turn 19 and then all you get is a tiny annual benefit, rest is out of pocket. I believe that most countries don’t give adults dental coverage :/

Essentially the health board is completely fine paying for cancer treatments, broken bones, or to have a suspicious mole removed. They’ll subsidize prescription medication. But TEETH!!! WHO NEEDS THOSE???
