I don't know. A neighbor of mine just had to have all his teeth ripped out an replaced. It's going to be a while before he heals enough for permanent dentures, and he wouldn't have to go through this if he controlled his junk food habits. (Not overweight, just terrible eating.) He took about 15 years to admit his teeth needed fixed, and by that point there was no saving them. Granted, he admitted he was in denial and didn't blame anyone but himself and is paying for all of this on his own. Lard-chuggers will blame everyone else and then demand either the state pays for it or people donate to get them help, and then go back to whatever habits put them in that situation in the first place.
