Dentists like to think they did it on their own. However, the accepted welfare for the rich in the form of government subsidies for their tuition and/or dental schools. Governments dole out licenses and give them the right to treat people. Some dentists claim that the number of dentists is kept low - just to make sure dentists can charge more money. It’s time dentists give back. Boo-hoo about the paper work. Do some for free. After all dentists got handouts. It’s time for them to pay it forward.
We have a crisis because dentists won’t treat low-income people. In New York and other states, they passed a law requiring all students to get a dental check-up. This won’t solve the problem because children living with dental pain still can’t afford the dentist. They know this. This law enabled dentists to get more children with good insurance to come and see them and raise dentist incomes.
Dentists claim that they care so much about low-income people that they work very hard to put fluoride chemicals into the water - yeah right! These are the same people they won’t allow to cross their threshold. If they really cared, a dental health crisis wouldn’t have occurred on thier watch.
Which dentists claim they care for low-income people? My dentist makes special deals and terms with people who are poor to avoid Medicaid.
This is just good business for her. She is a professional.
