    And to continue your analogy, some lawmakers in those states actively trying to prosecute you for obtaining dental care outside your state. Further, even general tooth hygiene, which doesn’t require a dentist would be under attack. They would be bringing law suits for giving someone a toothbrush.

      Craziest thing is that nobody will ever tell you why they want dental hygiene to be illegal. They will say something like, “My favorite series is Harry Potter. I never saw him brush his teeth.” and you’re just thinking, “What does your favorite book have to do with this? Also I’m pretty sure Harry brushes his teeth – did you even read your favorite book??”

        Not only that. Say someone punches your teeth in, they just tell you to accept having broken teeth for the rest of your life should you survive the potential infections first.
