Efstathios Giannoutsos, DDS, My entire family is from Greece. This is a place where dentistry has historically been, and continues to be, a major luxury. In the past, people couldn't have regular dental work due to geographic and social constraints. In such a historically agrarian society, they did not tend to themselves or their oral needs until their family's general welfare was taken care of and the land was tended to, or unless there was an emergency.
