I guess this why the British all appear to have screwed up smiles.
Get on a train, boat or plane and go to a sane place that has dentists...................
Double shot of Whiskey.
Pair of Pliers.
Problem solved.
When I visited a Navajo village they told me in the old days tooth infection was one of the biggest killers. The fine dust in the desert would get into the food and wear teeth down quickly.
So yes, tooth decay can kill.
From the sound of things, the medical and dental needs of the illegals have to come first. Tax-paying Brits just have to wait.
This is also true of housing needs as well. Illegal foreigners get first dibs.
Jonathan Fagg??
Americans are starting to believe that we should have socialized health care. So that means Medicare for everyone. It’ll be crappy. So if you want to get quality treatment, you’ll have to fly to Cancun. We’re probably 20 years away. Maybe less than that when Gavin Newsom becomes President.
Just what the libs want for our children.

Free and worth every penny.
Socialized medicine is great!
Socialized (government run)healthcare:
Inefficient, incompetent treatment, long waiting periods to receive treatment.
Doorknob, string, tooth...some assembly required...
Doorknob, string, hold girl in place, slam door. Pain is over in a day.
To wait three years is child abuse.
Man, the numbers of times Brits have defended their universal health care system, saying how a compassionate system it is. How compassionate is it to make children wait a year for a tooth extraction?
The last time I needed to get a tooth pulled, I went to a dentist office at the nearby mall, only about a 10-12 minute drive from my house. And I didn’t have an appointment. They pulled the tooth (used local anesthetic) and I paid out of pocket (150 bucks if I recall correctly). And I was home in a couple of hours (that included a stop at my pharmacy to pick up the pain killers and antibiotics the dentist prescribed for me).
I could have had my insurance company pay for a tooth extraction, but that would have meant having to travel to a different dentist office that was more further away from my place, plus I would have had to make an appointment that could’ve taken place anywhere from a couple days to a week and I was in pain and in no mood to wait a few days.
Well, at least they don’t have to pay for it as they like to brag...
Yeah, we have to pay for it here, but we can get this done literally the same day in many cases, not wait 18 months in pain - and bad teeth can lead to other health problems - including heart problems. Even charity cases here don’t wait anywhere near this long for healthcare.
Very sad...like mentioned above, this can cause other serious health issues to arise...that I guess she would have to wait another 3 years to deal with, if she survives that long.
In the US, this could be done in one day. One day. Even after all of the damage from Obamacare. And she's been waiting 3 years.
This is the healthcare system the Democrats want us to emulate. "Coverage" vs. healthcare.
In Britain everyone has the right to mediocre care that should have been rendered 12 months earlier.
OMG! There is NOTHING worse than tooth pain!
