That said, WHO does profiles of dental health, providing comparison:

- dashundchen 2y agoDidn'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.
