Norwegian Teeth A GALLERY OF PAIN

Dental health is health

The mouth and jaw do
NOT belong to the body.

Teeth are the only place on the body where we are forced to live with extreme pain for years, because your wallet decides whether you receive help from the Norwegian healthcare system.

The result is people marked by pain. Who stop smiling. Who isolate themselves, take sick leave, or drop out of working life.

Real photos. Real pain. Real unattainable treatment estimates.

Completely anonymously, but true.
