Why do Brits not invest in dental care?

A lot of people can't afford dental treatments. Children are free on the NHS, but once they're 18 I believe they have to pay for any treatments they need – and that can be expensive.I too had braces as a teen and now look after my teeth very well. Either people cannot afford it & do not see it as a priority, or they care little about what their teeth look like. 7 months ago 3 people rated this as good Thanks (:
