  2. My parents have four kids. They took us to dentist every six months. We did have sweets but my mom. Limited the amount. Now all three of younger siblings. Are adults with no tooth decay. They see dentist every six months as adults. I had all my teeth pulled in March. I had dental insurance. My husband was in the Navy when my teeth trouble started. I couldn’t afford to have my teeth cleaned. I didn’t lose my teeth because my grandma gave piece of candy as kid. I lost my teeth because I couldn’t see dentist. My son is 26 years old. Now my mom has given Joshua the poison oh I mean candy. His teeth are healthy he has never had cavity. He had access to dentist. You are teacher and judge every parent. Who sends their kids off to school. They probably would not appreciate that. I know I wouldn’t.

  4. My son one of those low income kids. I as his mother worked subbing at daycare center. I made $10.57 per hour. We lived with my mother. I slept in bed with my mom. So my son who was in high school. Could have his own room. I worked every shift I could get. Did outside babysitting. Fortunately Joshua was covered by Medicaid. In Illinois he could see A dentist. Now he is 26 years old. He has dental insurance through his job. His teeth are healthy and in good condition. So the whole you have all the answers. When comes to feeding kids. Is bull the reason his teeth are fine. While my own were all pulled seven months ago. Is because I couldn’t afford to see dentist. These kids are not as fortunate as Joshua was. They are suffering and their parents. Can’t get access for treatment. You decide to look down your nose at them. Without having all the facts.

  5. I had my teeth pulled 7 months ago at low income dental clinic. I had bone infection. Which is life threatening. Who was supposed to take care of my husband who has dementia. He retired from the Navy. You wanted to let his wife die. Very cruel and heartless, We need Everyone in this country to have access to dental treatment. No one should die of dental infection.
