Fluoridation Fails Minnesota's Poor
Low-income Minnesota families struggle to get dental care | Minnesota Public Radio | businessnorth.com
In
Minnesota, fluoridation is state mandated. Dentists promise it helps
poor children. But only 36% of Medicaid enrollees receive dental care
because most dentists won't treat poor people or Medicaid patients.
Fluoridation gives the illusion that fluoridation promoting dentists
care about the low income folks who aren't welcomed in their dental
chairs
Their motto "Let Them Eat Fluoride"
Instead of fluoridation saving money, advocates are asking for tens of millions more dollars toward childhood dental needs.
