Oral Anatomy: Dental Care in the U.S.
This term project is about how in United States, dental care is very expensive compared to other countries. It analyzes the issue of only a small fraction of the population are able to afford a good insurance that would cover most of their dental treatment, but the majority are approved only for Medicare or Medicaid. Which leaves the patient to pay most of their treatment out of pocket. From my experience as a dental assistant working in an impoverished area in NYC C, I have seen the fatal consequences that lack of dental care has among children. Some of them needed urgent dental intervention, including multiple root canals to save their teeth. Many of them come to the United States at a low economic status because of difficult situations in their home counties, where they do not have clean tap water or money to purchase oral care necessities like toothpaste.
