    but dental is usually not included and most people pay it themselve

    Children under 18 are covered for almost all dental care under the basic Dutch health insurance and therefor free of charge.

    So you are wrong, you (most likely depending on your age I guess) had free dental as a child, the fluoride is aimed at children who are not guarenteed that in the US, it varies state to state and depending on your income.

      That I didn’t know, the healthcare system was very different when I was a kid myself. We have made it a lot more commercial on the last 20 years.
