The Charleston Gazette - West Virginia News and Sports - News - Medicaid to pay dentists more�:
In West Virginia, one of the most heavily fluoridated states:
"It's especially difficult to find an oral surgeon who accepts Medicaid patients in Southern West Virginia where dental health problems are rampant, said Dr. Byron Black, who co-owns Mountain State Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons in Charleston.
'The southern part of the state is just not being served,' Black said. 'There's just not access.'
The state Dental Association also has suggested the Medicaid office reimburse dentists for additional services provided to infants and toddlers."
