And how is someone who can’t pay for a cleaning paying for a root canal?

I dunno about the mattress one, but I think the message behind the root canal is that lower income people typically cant afford the routine care stuff and end up paying more. It's a more noticeable issue with heart disease or other conditions where regular checkups and medication could avoid having a massive heart attack, possibly a cath, etc.
