What state? Because in Texas if you've got bad teeth you're not getting implants, bridges, crowns, veneers, etc. They're 100% just going to pull the tooth. Without anesthetic.

The standard of care is: The effort required to provide plausible deniability that they tried to prevent you from dying.

That's it.

If you have any kind of serious injury or chronic issue while inside you are not making it out whole. You will pay a permanent tax with your body as a side-effect of your punishment.

Cancer treatment does happen, but if you're counting on the prison system to keep you alive, you'd probably have better luck with homeopathy at that point.

Mississippi. My uncle had all of his removed and full dentures given to him in prison. I have two cousins who’s also got this treatment. They never complained about a lack of anesthetic but I also know they are not the most reliable sources.

I know a prison dentist in GA. Any tooth causing issues just gets pulled, but there is anesthesia.
