    If you would have read the article, you would know that California doesn’t allow for root canals on back teeth, cosmetic tooth restoration or replacement, or treatment of oral ulcers—among other dental services, but if you want breast implants you can get that easily.

      Yeah? And you’re implying that the fact that they can get breast implants is the problem, not the fact that the other treatments aren’t available? Come on.
