It used to be that everyone could get an NHS dentist and get a lot of work done for free but not anymore. I think that we’re still all entitled to an NHS dentist but there aren’t enough of them so only kids have easy access.
I get a cleaning every 4 months but my insurance only covers every 6 months, so I pay for one out of pocket. I go to a very good dentist, and they only charge $170 for a cleaning
Also dentists: “That’ll be $1200. I hope you enjoy the rest of your Monday!”

It’s getting to be that way in the UK too.

you are supposed to clean your teeth 2 times a day
edit: Ok, downvote me for stating healthcare is expensive in the US and wondering if this is linked to the flossing habit…
No, healthcare being expensive and people not flossing are not related.
