In America????

I think you miss the point.

1. It is diffiuclt to find a dentist who will accept you as a new patient unless you have dental insurance. I know because we did not have it until this year. She, of course, did not have it. Dentists did not want to accept her son as a patient because she was on medicaid.

2. She DID step up more...the dentist would not see them.

3. You cannot afford a bridge. Her son died. And YOU get the shaft???

It is sad, that a child died because of one bad tooth. I don't think a lot
of people can relate to this families poverty.Their everyday poverty and
that's sad too.

While it's sad that things like this do happen in this day and age.

This is also a good time to remind ourselves how important dental care is, not only for us but also our 4 legged furry children too!
