Just as there are not enough pediatric dentists to treat all the potential children patients, there are by far not enough dental clinics to treat patients on public assistance.

To me, that’s music to my ears!” Eileen White is an associate editor with Dental Products Report. Contact her at ewhite@advanstar.com. Executive Editor Stan Goff also contributed to this article.
