Representative Ocasio-Cortez

I disagree that appearance isn't enough of a reason for everyone to be able to have good teeth.  It's a major factor in employment, socialization, preventing depression and making people feel that they have a motivation not to succumb to their addictions. 

I also know, from my own experience and from having spoken to a Boston University dental student, that procedures which would be the most beneficial to patients aren't administered in programs which are used to train dental students while providing care to homeless people.  There are teeth that can be saved that are pulled out instead, because it is less expensive.  

I haven't lost teeth, but the conglomerate, knowing how poor I am, has bullied me about my teeth since 2010.
