I had state insurance, it included dental, but only essential things, apparently wanting to keep my teeth is cosmetic. My front tooth broke, they put some kind of cap but it needed a crown, insurance didn’t cover it, so now I’m missing one of my two front incisors. I had teeth in the back that could be fixed with good insurance but they only covered the removal. It’s annoying to eat most stuff because I have essential teeth missing but that’s what I deserve according to glorious USA. That’s what I get for being born with low calcium and no enamel and being poor.
and of course, a lot of this could’ve been stopped long before it got so bad, had you been able to go to the dentist once or twice a year… i’m watching people my age spend ridiculous amounts on fixing their teeth (even with costs being nowhere near US levels) beacuse they (or their parents) neglected them when they were younger…
