I’m American and in addition to our messed up healthcare system. Teeth are simultaneously so important that I have to see a specialist (dentist) for routine care, but so unimportant that it’s not included in my healthcare coverage. Is it like that elsewhere?
Sadly not in Canada, but the Federal NDP party is pushing for it. They don’t have much power here, but they recently worked with the Liberals (current government) to at least partially cover dental care for people with lower incomes, as I understand it.
So for Canada at least, the answer is No, with a tiny sliver of Yes.
