>Public healthcare that covers dental laughts nerviously in Dutch

__s 2y ago
heh, I feel it, I'm in Canada where oral healthcare is deemed cosmetic. Giving us some 22minutes satire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZsUp-DHMZ4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZsUp-DHMZ4 "do people really need to see & chew?" That said, WHO does profiles of dental health, providing comparison: https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/country-profiles/oral-health/oral-health-nld-2022-country-profile.pdf https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/country-profil... https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/country-profiles/oral-health/oral-health-usa-2022-country-profile.pdf https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/country-profil... & for my own interest, Canada: https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/country-profiles/oral-health/oral-health-can-2022-country-profile.pdf https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/country-profil...

  Didn't the NDP and Liberals recently pass universal government payer dental coverage in Canada? It never made sense that dentistry somehow is considered a separate form of healthcare from the rest of your body. Especially considering researchers are increasingly finding links between oral health and other conditions such as Alzheimer's heart disease. And that preventative dental care is so much cheaper and less invasive than treating major decay when care is delayed.

    It’s not universal, but yes there is some coverage for young, old, and disabled people. https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/dental/dental-care-plan.html https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/dental/dental-car...
