Dental care being seen as a luxury really boils my blood. After I aged out of my mom's dental insurance, a filling in a molar feel out and I was left with half a tooth (it was a big filling) with sharp edges digging into my cheek. This happened at the beginning of them pandemic. The only option I could afford was a dental school, which was closed for several months because of said pandemic. It was very uncomfortable, but I didn't realize how bad it was until my dental work was finished. The improvement on my quality of life was immense, not being in pain and being able to eat normally. Just thinking about it makes me so mad that there are people out there suffering just because they can't afford it.
And my crown was still $500 at the dental school! I spent pretty much all my pandemic relief checks on dental care :(
