wow...
my friend said that she had to set up dental appointments a year in advance, and if a person missed their appointment they were kicked off that doctor's list and had to apply again.
the wait could be 4 years.

she also said that when a dentist came to the town near her's (i think near her's), and people were lined up for 3 miles or something, and they could only accept the first 200 people.

Thats pretty messed up..but to be honest if people neglect the care of their teeth they should be prepared to pay the prices to have them treated..and if they can't afford it, look after the damn things, i'm guessing its not at all pleasant pulling your own teeth..
