Proven to Prevent Tooth Decay
Back when the threat of communism was everywhere, pinko governments fluoridated the drinking water, and the next thing you knew, the scourge of cavities was eradicated. O.k., well, fluoride toothpaste, brushing after meals, flossing, and visiting the dentist twice a year helped, but we all know that if you're worried about you children's teeth, make sure they drink plenty of tap water.
Look, seriously, we have socialized medicine in this country (or we did, until the Howard government started its push to get everyone signed up into private cover), and, with all the studies that have shown a link between dental health and general health, it would make sense to extend the program to cover preventive dental care. Of course, this is an area where the medical coverage providers are making a bit of money for themselves/their shareholders, so it's not likely to happen. I wonder how many of his own teeth the Rodent still has?
