Racism causes poor dental health.

[Woodznutz]

Just read a lengthy article on the oral/dental health of Americans. Minorities have the worst of these problems. The article cites lack of exams and professional care, lack of insurance, poor nutrition, lack of education. Their proposed solution is tooth sealing and more access to insurance.

Not a single word about responsible dental hygiene.

How long has it been since you've been to the UK? I was there less than a week ago and the problem still exists.

Disparities in Oral Health | Division of Oral Health | CDC

Oral health disparities are profound in the United States. Despite major improvements in oral health for the population as a whole, oral health disparities exist for many racial and ethnic groups, by socioeconomic status, gender, age and geographic location

www.cdc.gov

I misspoke, the two plans are dental sealants and flouridated water. No mention of education regarding hygiene.

Government-run health care.

Several internet articles that I just read indicate great improvements in the dental health of the Brits.

Government-run health care.

True. The longevity of government programs relies on not solving the problems they were created to address.

They also ration care, so if you need a CAT scan and a root canal in the same year, you need to pick one or the other (or more likely, a bureaucrat will pick for you).
