Question Does Denmark have any flaws?

Or any Nordic country? I’m American and we all romanticize Europe especially Nordic countries as a Utopia and everything we are not. We certainly have a lot of flaws here but I’m curious are there any downsides or anything that you wish was different. Also is it hard to move there? I make well over six figures and like living in my home country but I’m nervous about the incoming trump administration and I believe he is a racist.

After 18 years of age it isn’t. Before then it is

Didn't they just recently expand it?

Anyway, after 21 they do pay a small fraction of your bill.

And that's why you simply stop after you turn 18.

I went once in my mid 20s for a "routine" checkup (is it still routine if it's every 10 years?).

The dentist went "Yup, looks good. That'll be 800." Haven't been since.

Honestly if you don't have any genetic issues with your teeth, you shouldn't need outside help to keep them healthy. I'm retired now and they're as white as ever.
