If you have a mouthful of teeth shaped by a childhood in poverty, don’t go knocking on the door of American privilege.

    I can relate… I went to the dentist twice in my first 14 years of life, and each time they yelled at me because I wasn’t coming to the dentist regularly for “teeth cleaning”.

    In the next 20 years of life I’ve only been a handful more times. My teeth aren’t great but they don’t hurt and that’s about all that matters. Even with insurance I paid about $2000 the last time I saw a dentist so that’s put and end to that pretty quickly.
