Good dental care is becoming an unaffordable luxury for many Americans. In 2011 The Kaiser Family Foundation reported that 33 percent of people surveyed skipped dental care or dental checkups because they couldn't afford them. A 2003 report by the U.S. Surgeon General found that 108 million Americans had no dental insurance -- nearly 2.5 times the number for those who have no health insurance. And more than half of dental procedures are now paid for out of pocket. As a result, many patients are now waiting until their dental problems are dire and their options become even more limited. Free comprehensive dental care and treatment would eliminate this very large expense from the average citizen's limited budget.
