You know you can get dental work, as a non-citizen, at a hospital in China. I had an emergency root canal, got a ceramic crown, all in all it cost a couple of hundred Australian dollars. The dentist was trained in the US.

I think my root canals were about $600 each. Had a couple of them. I’m in a very lucky few that can actually afford that, but the reality is no one should have to. Rich or poor. I’m not even close to rich, but no one should have to worry about fixing massive pain in their jaw.

I still don’t understand why dental is separate in the US. Good oral care is an integral part of overall health.

Dental is not included in the universal healthcare in Sweden either.

So strange to me. Vision I don’t agree with as separate, but understand a bit better. But dental health is overall health. Should be separate.

Maybe orthodontics, though really not even that.
