Dental insurance is tricky because you have to have a mechanism that prevents people from signing up, paying one month of premium (which often is in the $20-$40 range), getting a lot of work done, and canceling.
How does it work? I need my wisdom teeth out.

The cost of dental care is nowhere near the cost of "regular" medical treatment. The ACA is not concerned with bills of a thousand dollars or so. A hospital stay, even one that's only a few days, will cost tens of thousands of dollars, and almost nobody is ever able to pay off that staggering sum. A dental visit may bust your budget for a few months, but it's not a life altering event the way medical bills can be for the uninsured.
