Well, dental care is actually free - or heavily subsidised. About $8 equivalent for a tooth filling. There is the option to go private though. Some areas don’t have enough space and you perhaps need to wait for a month or so for an appointment unless it is an emergency.
Nothing is Free. Your costs are either hidden, or being paid by someone else. Neither are right.
We rest our case on socialized medicine! Waiting a month for dental care is outlandish!
