It's simple, mandate that dentists fix every child's teeth that comes to their door. In the meantime, let's get some Dental Health Aide Therapists into the U.S. to do the work that dentists won't.
Dentists don't like mandates unless it's water fluoridation - which gives the illusion that they are doing something for low-income children. These millions of dollars would be better spent actually fixing children's teeth.
Stop allowing dentists to dance around the problem, their government subsidized education requires they give back. They have a lucrative monoploy gotten off our backs via our legislative system where they lobby for laws that benefit themselves not us.
