QuickDFW.com | Latest News: "'Mommy can't afford to take you to the dentist.'
Dallas, Texas is fluoridated
"But in Dallas recently:
•A toddler with a mouthful of cavities went untreated because a community clinic was not equipped to sedate her and her mother couldn't afford to take her elsewhere.
•A 9-year-old with nine cavities planned nine visits to a low-cost clinic, because even there her parents could afford to treat only one tooth at a time.
•An 8-year-old, who lost Medicaid coverage when his mother began work, returned to the dentist when he complained of pain and needed five fillings and three teeth removed."
