Honestly, it's the same in Denmark.
Dental health is the one medical speciality where access to healthcare in Europe is almost as bad as the US.
On paper, most European countries include it in the universal health, but in practice it either only covers doing the bare minimum on life threatening conditions or there's only one dentist in the public healthcare system per million people.
I mean in Poland it's not cheap, but it's not that expensive either, unless for very poor people (or people with bad spending habits) who don't have any money left before next paycheck.
What? According to your comments that would mean that for example Austria has only eight dentists in the public health care system? That's just not true.
Of course, no matter how good a system is, we can always try to improve it, like including more services, but it's of course a balance.
There is a ~~simple~~ way that would improve health care in practically all countries: Make private health care illegal, not from one day to the next, but gradually. The only way to improve health care would then be to improve health care for everybody.
They won't install veneers, but pretty much anywhere they'll pull your tooth if you're getting an infection, at least you'll be spared that issue.
It's mostly the same in Canada too but we are moving in the right direction at least!
