The golden oar

Street dentist Didi also sees this every day. One day a week, she treats people who can't afford the dentist for free. The SP Prize for People Who Row Against the Current. As many as 15 million Dutch people cannot afford the dentist. And that has major consequences. People who always walk around in pain, sometimes don't even dare to go out and therefore become completely isolated, lose work and relationship.

It's crazy for words when you consider that the Netherlands is such a rich country. In addition, it is also short-sighted when you look at the costs: teeth that are maintained are cheaper for taxpayers than teeth that ultimately require expensive treatments. In addition, it's also strange: if you have something to do with your ear or eye, your treatment in the hospital will simply be reimbursed from the basic package. So why shouldn't that be the case with a treatment in your mouth, which a dentist says is necessary?
