Poor people face dental dilemma - Kamloops Daily News
People who are homeless or on seniors' pension or welfare can have a difficult time getting dental care, says the retired dentist who deals with all of them at the New Life Mission's clinic.
Dr. Holly Schweiger said he hears stories every day about people who can't find a dentist to fix their teeth because they have no money, or those same people face long waits to get care or are treated badly.
"We have 83 dentists in town and only about two or three will even look at those of the marginalized society," he said Wednesday.
