Comment on Luxury bones? In *this* economy.
Meron35@lemmy.world 6 days agoSike! Many developed nations such as Canada, Australia, the UK, Hong Kong, and Singapore all provide little to no support for dental. Although the UK does have dental ln the NHS, finding an NHS dentist is very difficult.
Many of the residents in these nations end up engaging in dental tourism to nations such as Poland and Thailand, where a dental travel package that includes round trip international air fare + 5 star hotel + dental work is still cheaper than getting dental work done in their home country.

That’s what you get from at least a century of dental industry propaganda. The “things you eat with” got reclassified as “things you smile with”.

Every time I go there are posters up about getting the perfect smile. Nah, I just want them to work for eating and not hurting. I am fine with them looking natural instead of being as white as snow.
