Behold the "Superpower" - lol.

100 million people can't go to a dentist.

But if a senator feels a little dizzy, a black armored helicopter picks him up to the nearest clinic, and his bodyguards clear out the other people with machine guns first.

I went for an exam at Western Dental. They priced my whole mouth for 5,000 dollars.

4 Wisdom Teeth, Front Bridge, 1 extraction, 1 crown. Deep Cleaning... aye aye aye... I blame the fluoride scam going on with American Water.

I haven't been to the dentist in 10 years. I am doing what the Republicans want. I am being personally responsible.

I would rather die before I would spend the rest of my life in medical debt.

people are so quick to complain, anyone heard about savings accounts? how about oral hygiene which can prevent all the cavities. It's not just about money, it's about education and the responsibility. I would hate to see another kid crying with cavity because his/her parents are ignorant. I took care of my children and their health and no i'm not even close to being rich!!!

I just spent $54,000 on my teeth for a full mouth smile makeover, and that was the cheapest uninsured quote I could find in Oregon!

There's no economic depression in dentistry, they are raping the uninsured like never before.

If you want to get rich in a bad economy, become an oral surgeon specializing in dental implants, you'll be rich within months like my dentist, he's only 29 yrs old and already owns a 2.4 million home, 3 Mercedes Benz and flies to his 2nd home in Bermuda 4 times per year...

I'm a fresh graduate dentist from Indonesia, and I'd like to know how in the world could you American Fellow Dentists manage this event.

all these people are white and can't afford the dentist?? what ever happened to the "superior" race everyone keeps talking about? not being able to afford something as simple as this shows you clearly have problems.
