I too finally got to go to a dentist when I became a uni student as an adult, the only place left in my country that has almost free dental care thanks to organizing. This benefit only includes higher ed students though.
Went about 20 years prior to that only occasionally affording some care for my luxury bones and the few times I had to go, the bills ended up unpaid, because feeding my kid was more important.
I had to have so much work done. There's one more wisdom tooth yet to go and I need to get it done before my studies end.
