No. There just needs to be more information. Some might not be aware that the care is free.

ALICIA SCHELFEN

Yes. How lazy do you have to be to ignore free dental care for your child? Such irresponsible parents should be punished.

VINAY GUPTA

No. It’s not always feasible to get kids to a dentist appointment. A fine is not the answer.

DONAL MCCARTHY

No. It’s not the parents’ fault. Food manufacturers pump products full of sugar.

RACHEL MUNRO

Yes. People willing to let their children’s teeth rot should be punished. It’s practically child abuse.

BENNY SAUNDERS

Yes. It’s awful. Parents who neglect their kids’ teeth should be fined. That’d do the trick.
