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.
