Why Trinity Can’t Go to the Dentist

Trinity's grandmother says that over two years she called 10 dentists for appointments, but because only 10 percent of Florida's dentists accept Medicaid, the five-year-old finally receives care for her infected teeth under general anesthesia at a hospital - at a cost of $18,000. Only 25 percent of Florida's Medicaid-eligible children get any kind of dental care.
