Are teeth considered healthcare in your country? (kbin.social)

I'm American and in addition to our messed up healthcare system. Teeth are simultaneously so important that I have to see a specialist (dentist) for routine care, but so unimportant that it's not included in my healthcare coverage. Is it like that elsewhere?

In Australia we also consider teeth to be luxury bones, so they aren't included in our health care

It's a miracle the emergency department is still free with the way our country has been going.
