Having lived in the USA for all 40 years of my life I can tell you that this is definately the case. None of us here have dental insurance. We don't, because we can't, because it is against the law. We don't even have dentists in this country. We start teaching our kids proper dental hygiene in grade school and continue through high school. By that time 99.973% of USA children at the age of 18 can complete the most complex dental surgery that you are accustomed to in Canada. In fact, 87.569% of all USA households have a sterile dental surgery suite in their garages or homes. Those who don't, rely on their neighbors for the standard root canal or braces. We graciously provide this to our less fortunate friends. I personally have 3 suites on my property (machine shed, garage, and corn silo when it is not drying corn). After work today, I did 2 root canal's, 3 sets of braces and 2 complete cleanings. 5 hours of work for a case of beer, some venison, and a date with the neighbors daughter.
Mr. Roboteye, take a look at the idiocy of your statement about the USA and you will realize how idiotic this post of mine is.
