Just a tiny point, but the specific practices are not necessarily a reflection of whether or not a government is the provider of the service. I, too, as a child had dental work with no anaesthesia, when at the time (and looking back) I thought I could have used it. The drilling to fill a child's "shallow" cavity was considered not painful enough to require anaesthesia. I assure you my mother, not a government, paid for the service, and in the US.
