Extra funding does little to increase dental care for Medical Assistance recipients (MN)

1. There are many caring dentists but I see ADA as problem

Dentistry is a licensed profession. A valid question is what are are licensed professions doing to serve the people in the states that license them.

The American Dental Association is a national trade organization. Are they seeing their role as a narrow one of protecting their members livelihood and income or do they they see a role for improving dental care for all?

Many European countries an Japan provide certain dental services in schools. Their children have much better dental health than our children. Maybe there is a connection.

I hope these reports of dental impoverishment and pain and suffering of children will begin to disabuse us of the notion that fluoridation of water is a miracle dental treatment for children.
