my main problem is I compare life now to in the US in the 50's through 90's instead of the dark ages.
When I do that, I think about medicine in general and dentists in particular. Our age wins here. Though I don't know, maybe regular folks in the US can't afford medical and dental help, so it doesn't matter to them.
Yeah I don't see much change dental wise. Its again sorta gotten bad since 2000. Flouridation had a big effect but finding an independent dentist as a doctor whose main interest is the health of your teeth and mouth seems to be harder and harder. Now we have these corp things that feel shady as fuq. The US is a bit strange in that we had obamacare and like right after things got much better but then the mandate was kicked out and that upset the balance of pay with insurance companies and then we allow corps to own insurance and provider and pharmacy and hospitals. but then biden got the no surprise billing thing. its been a bit of ping pong but since the millenium. I mean technical advances always are better as time goes by but of course if they are not available or guaged so much they are not (something as basic as insulin) thats not really better.
