Reply:I just heard on the news TODAY that they are wanting to make health care mandatory in america. Too bad they didn't do that sooner when I had to pay thousands out of my pocket for my daughter's braces as I didn't have insurance coverage even offered to me through my employer then. It is not mandatory (required) yet but if it passes to law, then it is better late than never I feel as we all need insurance at some time in our lives. Even someone in great health could have an accident or illness later on that they don't foresee.





MANY here in the USA don't have health care and they don't seem to offer dental coverage seperately so the logical reply is that American children are fortunate if they get any medical coverage to begin with. Dental plans seem even less likely.

Reply:No, absolutely not. Parents are on their own to obtain any dental insurance coverage for their children. If the parents qualify as low-income, then some of the individual states have programs for these children to see participating dentists for dental care, with varying levels of coverage.


And there are no programs that truly provide care free of charge because the cost is absorbed somewhere, usually from other taxpayers' pockets. Dentists don't work for free, and the majority are not on the government's payroll, unless they work in the armed forces.
Reply:Once you think of a child and their dental health issues, the most apparent threat has to be tooth decay. A bunch of progress has been made in recent years to assist cut back the number of cavities that the average child develops. Cavities are rooted by bacteria-not food or sugar. A kid’s dental health is threatened when these bacteria begin feeding upon food particles that accumulate in our mouth in between meals. If those particles are not eradicated using good oral hygiene and specialized dental health products, then the bacteria will produce an acid. For example, there have been dramatic improvements in dental health products such as toothpaste made with fluoride and specialized toothbrushes designed to get into those hard to reach crevices. Yet, one of the most extraordinary improvements to come about in the battle against common dental dilemmas like cavities is called sealant.
