Dentists Fail Arizona Residents

Because most dentists prefer to treat the water of and not the teeth of low income Americans,
in Arizona, Emergency Rooms are the go-to treatment option for more than 45,000 people with dental problems from 2010 to 2015.

The state’s Medicaid program (the taxpayers) picked up the tab for 41 percent of these cases — nearly 19,000 visits. At an average of $749 per visit, that’s quite a chunk of public dollars going to treat something that could be prevented at a dentist’s office for about a third of the cost.
