At "basic" levels, yes, to all of those.
Here's a way to think of it: A society succeeds to the degree that it harnesses the maximum of each individual's potential.
The goal then is for a society to remove impediments that prevent someone from reaching their potential. Imagine a potential Einstein born to unfortunately poor parents. One measure of the how well these services are calibrated is the degree that that Einstein is able to reach their potential despite the misfortune of their parents.
Lack of early child care, eduction, transportation and certainly (non-cosmetic) dental care can certainly stifle someone's potential, so those seem like reasonable problems for a just society to aim to address.
