Millions without dental insurance still get professional dental care.

And millions don't.

Dentists are available to them, and most, even most people with below average income, can pay for dental care.


Just great. If you have slightly below average income you can afford dental treatment. What if you have more than slightly below average income? What if you are in the bottom 30%? What if one kid needs a root canal and another breaks his arm playing football?

What do you think those folks do?

"Millions without dental insurance still get professional dental care. "

Dental colleges give away free or drastically reduced rate dental care every day. I have known a few people who refuse to seek dental care, but none who have been unable to get it.

Funny how medical care always seems to reach those who need it.
