More important to control what people eat. Tax sugar and junk food
@4VX9G3D4yrs4Y
Why should we fund laziness? Dental hygiene is a choice, just like taking a shower
@4T7QBXQ4yrs4Y
Yes, but only in cases of birth or genetic defects, not in cases of rot from poor self-care.
@4WDTFMZ4yrs4Y
People only need dental care because of western processed diet. Flouride and fillings are so bad for you
@4WRQK9R4yrs4Y
I thought fluoridating our water aimed at this, however, high sugar diets and childhood consumption of too much sugary drinks have reversed preventative dental care. Tax the sugary drinks.
@8KBY4TS4yrs4Y
Yes but only basic otherwise people will grow lazy on brushing/flossing/taking care of their teeth.
@B4BSKMW2wks2W
This can create a lack of confidence in the general public’s health! The wealthy would have the best access to healthcare while the rest of society will be left with bad quality health professionals
@9W9Q2D86mos6MO
Yes, but only for children, senior citizens and those struggling financially and need extra help from the government.
