    but u dont get chrome partial dentures, crowns, orthodontics, root canals on back teeth, or implants, advanced periodontics . all of which means that, if your back teeth go bad they will get removed and you will not get the treatment needed to meet whats needed to maintain a functioning dentition. the back teeth (that no one sees )hold up the bite for the pretty bit that people see. take those out and its a disaster long term.

    check-ups are only covered once per year with a medical card, not sufficient for many people
