In most cases dental care is something that is 100% preventative. If you take care of your teeth you shouldn't need it.
I think standard dental for kids should be covered as they shouldn't be punished for poor parents but adults should take care of their own teeth. If you look at the fee rates for dentists in the article it's about $500 to $1000 dollars a head. So that represents probably a 2k increase per tax payer.
