Just the filthy rich ones though.
Makes that saying about Eat the Rich, kind of interesting.
With fava beans and a nice chianti....
Eat the rich? But one just doesn't know where they might have been, does one.
We ought to do the sensible thing & raise taxes to cover all of health including dentistry. And education, while we're at it.

At a cousins funeral a few years ago (5 days older than me) his son said Dad had 2 professions, his day job, and dentistry as a sideline - he used to pull his own teeth...with a pair of special pliers he made. Agh, agh ! and collapsing in pain as he tried to pull a tooth. ''Go to the dentist Dad !'' 'Nah, nah, I got this son' And another yank and he'd have it out.
I do wonder though if government paid dentistry might result in a lot fewer dental students...
It shouldn't they'd still have a rewarding profession, & surely they're not just in it for the money...
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
