WebDental

Social network for dentists and dental professionals to share news and ideas.

As the debate lingers on I wonder what effect all proposed legislation will have on dentistry. Will government fund dental insurance like they propose funding insurance short term? If so, they have tall shoes to fill as I think the system works pretty well as it is. I have heard some argue that dentists would actually get more patients and have to do less "free" dental care. On the flip side, I have heard that dentists would HAVE to see more patients in order to make the same pay they do now, because the insurance payouts would be much less per treatment. This is all very confusing and I have not been following it as closely as I should, which is why I ask, how do you think health care reform will impact dentistry?

I am not sure if anyone really knows. You can check out a blog that I posted which provides more information about the Democratic plan and how children will be affected (follow the link in the blog). I would venture to say that most dental professionals have low expectations regarding increased revenue as a result of seeing more patients. Time will tell!
