BillingsGazette.com :: Hearing looks at kids' health: In 89% fluoridated Wisconsin: "Dr. Kevin Rencher, a pediatric dentist from Helena, testified that children desperately in need of dental care are not getting it under the current system.

In the past two weeks, Rencher treated five children with severe dental infections or tooth decay.

'Had these patients waited any longer to seek care, they would have become the next dental tragedy,' Rencher said, referring to a Maryland boy who died in February after infection from an abscessed tooth reached his brain."
