Bernard Sanders: “We must ensure that the private practice of dentistry is protected.”

In the richest country in the history of the world, we have got to do a lot better than that.

It is unacceptable to me that only a third of our Nation's dentists provide care to people who are on Medicaid.

For decades, public school teachers have been overworked, underpaid, understaffed, and maybe most importantly, underappreciated.

I thank you for the opportunity to testify before you on behalf of the Academy of General Dentistry.
