The dental industry in America is massive. Why is it such an important part of the American lifestyle?

      over 10 million Brits cannot get dental healthcare they need.

      I’m an American, but I am confident that in the UK, you can get cosmetic dental work done. You may have to pay for it – like, it may not be an NHS thing – but there is a private healthcare industry that exists alongside the state-run one in the UK.

        their point was that the british dental healthcare is as adequately provided for as in the US, where children die from lack of dental healthcare. ie, its not.

        Uh, yeah. Of course you can get private stuff. You can get that anywhere, lol. That was not the question.

          I’d think that it is, given that the comparison in the comment you responded to is to orthodontics in the US.

        What part of „it was the first link“ don’t you understand?

        Stop spamming people’s inboxes just because you’re too fucking lazy to do a 2 min search.

            Stop spamming people’s inboxes just because you’re too fucking lazy to do a 2 min search.

            Edit: Alternatively, you can pay me 80€/h and I‘ll write an extensive paper about the dental health situation in the UK, happy to help.
