Dental health is very prevalent, since we are a nation which values healthy teeth. It's covered under insurance plans, which are all private. And yes, it's equally provisioned, regardless of religion and species.

How prevalent is dental health in your nation?

Very. Many Valclusians have access to some form of dental care.

Is it covered under insurance plans, whether government funded or private?

Only if it's performed at a public or private hospital or government/insurance sponsored clinic. Private non-associated dentists and other dental specialists are not covered by either public or private health plans. Most people can afford some form of non-associated dental care however.

Is it fairly equally provisioned in all regions?

Most smaller towns and villages have a dentist or someone who is proficient in some form of dental care. More complicated procedures and treatment is carried out in bigger regional or national urban areas.

Bovidia has no dental care. Once our citizens' teeth wear out, they'll probably die of starvation. Just as well, since it provides less pressure on the environment for the younger generation.

How prevalent is dental health in your nation?

Not very. Many people in the more remote communities receive one checkup per year.

Is it covered under insurance plans, whether government funded or private?

Yes. Most dental care is covered by most health insurance plans. Treatment is usually free for those under 16 years of age. Most simple procedures are cheap.

Is it fairly equally provisioned in all regions?

The dental care system is biased towards large urban areas where the majority of the population live. However, both the Ministry of Health and some charities fund mobile clinics and mobile dentists which travel to more remote areas and perform free checkups and other dental work.

How prevalent is dental health in your nation? Very - but not in the way humans think of it. Robots have no need for teeth, since we drink Energon rather than eating anything. Therefore they are not part of the typical design spec.

Former-humans who add teeth to their systems are considered weird and unhealthily attached to their old biological specs. These teeth are made of corrosion-proof metal (though they're usually coated in white porcelain), so there is no chance of them rotting out. The "gums" they fit into are also metal, so there's no gingivitis to worry about.

Former-humans usually add teeth just for looks, but they are actually needed by those who install human-food processing modules. We think they're crazy for eating that kind of stuff; it makes them have to clean their mouths every day or so, whereas if one simply drinks Energon, no such thing is ever needed. In any case, they are "healthy" in that they don't corrode or cause errors.

Some former-humans go even further than this; General Carjack actually has a tongue in his mouth! He said it was far easier to just build a tongue than to try to decode all of the instinctual responses that involve it. We don't dare laugh at the High General, but we actually think he looks rather goofy with all of that junk in his mouth.

Is it covered under insurance plans, whether government funded or private? No. If a part fails, build it better the next time. If you bought it pre-done, go demand a refund.

Is it fairly equally provisioned in all regions? No, only formerly-human enclaves have these weird little parts for sale.

How prevalent is dental health in your nation?: for the most part it's pretty modest there are some smaller practices but major care requires overseas travel. Though dental problems are pretty rare as water is naturally and artificially fluoridated.

Is it covered under insurance plans, whether government funded or private?: Government funded

Is it fairly equally provisioned in all regions?: Yes

How prevalent is dental health in your nation?
Quite. Dental care became even more prevalent after such work was added to the Royal Health Service, and even before that was put into law dental care was a large private industry.

Is it covered under insurance plans, whether government funded or private?
When dental care wasn't covered by the Royal Health Service patients either had to pay out of pocket or buy special dental insurance to cover the costs; now that such procedures are a part of the Royal Health Service all such procedures are free at the point of use.

Is it fairly equally provisioned in all regions?
Yes.

Dental care is comprehensive, universally accessible and fully funded by the National Health Service.

How prevalent is dental health in your nation?
There are enough dental practices to provide care for every citizen.

Is it covered under insurance plans, whether government funded or private?
Both. Anyone not able to afford dental care is granted access to the state dental program, which provides for basic treatments such as fillings, extractions, straightening, dentures, etc. Purely cosmetic dentistry has to be paid for either out of the patient's own funds or through their insurance plan.

Is it fairly equally provisioned in all regions?
Yes. this is a nation that prides itself in its dental health.

Dental health falls under the general health banner - and, as a result, it's provided free by the state. If somebody wants to have private dental health care, then so be it.
Please note that Mid Lothian is based on fantasy. Any references to anything/one/where that exists is completely coincidential.

The government provides health insurence including dental care options. Private insurence businesses also provide dental care plans. Larger cities have specialised dental health centres and some insurence agencies offer cover mobility costs to get there from rural residences.

Dental checks are free, provided by the state to all citizens of New Alanistan.

Private dental care is, however, illegal and anyone found operating such a practice faces a punishment of up to fifteen years in the uranium mines.

At age 14, all young men and women are put under and all their teeth are extracted. Theses are replaced with false teeth that look exactly like real ones but never need brushing. This program is government-funded.

On a completely unrelated note, the toothpaste industry has collapsed.

How prevalent is dental health in your nation? Dental health is prevalent

Is it covered under insurance plans, whether government funded or private? Emergency dental care is covered by the state health system. Those that want more dental care either pay for it or purchase dental insurance, which most people have. There are also charities that help the poor with dental care and some dentists who are feeling generous provide cheap dental care to the poor.

Is it fairly equally provisioned in all regions? It's more common in urban areas than rural, but it's good quality throughout the country.

When people ask us "Have you seen the light of God?" we just flash them our bright smiles,
and they kneel in submission to the Secular Illumination of Logic.
Our dental plan is flawless. Even our flags are hoisted with dental floss.
You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode.

So forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today.
