It's honestly nuts how dental care isn't covered by so many universal healthcare systems either. Like here in Finland it's a recent-ish addition (last 30 years or so, and it initially only covered a limited set of people, such as those who'd gotten radiotherapy in the neck area) and it doesn't cover preventative care, more just eg. acute cases like sudden pain or accidents and whatnot, and I don't think implants are covered at all. This naturally means people have to rely on private providers, and soooo many people don't have health insurance because it just didn't use to be necessary until the last 10–15 years or so when successive right wing governments started destroying public healthcare because it's "not efficient."
