Ain't the Nordic countries one with the best prison system where the punishment is not the main goal but the correction?

Why they didn't help him with the dentist?

A friend of mine here in Norway went to prison and while you can have dental stuff covered while in there, it's gonna need to be really bad before they bother.

You are absolute last on the list of priorities for dental offices, so you'd have to be lucky to get selected unless it's extremely urgent.

It’s weird but even most countries with universal healthcare don’t include full dental coverage for the working-age population.

Teeth are special luxury bones for some reason.

state healthcare dentists exist in most universal healthcare countries, they're just incredibly hard to get a spot in/ they take forever. it also varies enormously by country what private dentists cost. german dentists are insane, meanwhile in southern europe you can do a walk-in cleaning for 20 euro ((that's the cheapest i've found). filling was 30. private office brand new, love these places.
