Challenges In Dentistry<br />

� Dentistry is a specialized, high risk service, expensive to<br />

deliver.<br />

� Infection control procedures alone are very costly<br />

� Lab fees regularly run hundreds of dollars per prosthesis<br />

� Pediatric dentistry sometimes requires Operating Room<br />

intervention, with general anesthesia…scarce service<br />

<strong>and</strong> long waiting times<br />

� Specialty care, such as endodontics; very difficult to<br />

access…<br />

� Patients need a dental home—with continuity,<br />

coordination, <strong>and</strong> access—just like they need a medical<br />

home.
