It is not? The lack of healthcare in US is always astonishing. Here in Brazil, since about 2000, dentistry is supported by public healthcare. Sure, for some services it may take a lot of time to be attended and treated, so who can afford usually pay for private healthcare, but nonetheless the public and free service exists. It is common that US tourists, when became sick or if they suffer some accident here, they resist to being sent to the hospital arguing that they cannot pay. And for some of them, it takes some time to make them understand that they do not need to pay for such a basic human right.

This happens even at corporate offices -- the restrooms would be full of people brushing and flossing after meals. People brought toothbrushes to work. There was even a floss (fio dental) dispenser.
