molson_golden2002 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I think its about time the government did something to enable more Americans to be able to go and see a dentist. The next time I walk into a Quickie Mart and see the slave behind the counter have bad teeth I swear I'll scream. These are the working poor and they shouldn't have to suffer like that.

Punch them in the mouth. Knock out their teeth. Problem solved. See here's the problem with the left, you need the government to solve all your problems.

Appearance aside, poor dental hygiene has been linked to infective endocarditis, bacteremia, atherosclerosis, oral cancer, pre-term births, and strokes. A dental health plan is just as important as a health plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dental health plan is just as important as a health plan. A toothbrush and toothpaste are surprisingly cheaper than wine, booze, ciggies, drugs, beer, and Pop Tarts. No matter - the government obviously has done a poor job about how to accomplish such a difficult procedure as brushing. There is only so much a Single Mom can be expected to do... But Change is on the horizon. The New Order will go after the corporations that extract excess profit from infective endocarditis, bacteremia, atherosclerosis, oral cancer, pre-term births, and strokes. Change You Can Bite On!

Just because you give someone free dental care doesn't mean they'll actually use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's right, I'm rich. I avoid the dentist myself and never get cavaties, but some people have just very weak teeth it seems and get cavaties really easily. Other people just are not taught good habits by their parents and their teeth are f'd up. I now wear a cage at hockey because I don't want my teeth knocked out. That would be expensive to fix!

Is the person a minority? Is the person a female? Is the person a female minority? If the person is not a white male, tons of people would love to hire him.

I do too, but had to post it... Also, I wear those big elbow pads, my shoulder pads are moderate, but bigger than I use to wear. I don't bounce back quite as fast. Don't bounce quite as well either.

It's not just the cavities. I go three times a year because of gum recession that needs close monitoring. Apparently I brush too hard and according to my dentist most people do. Gum disease is a bigger problem for your teeth and overall health than cavities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed you were mandating government sponsored dental plans. But I think you can understand my assumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
