March 19 – Fluoride, access and the future of oral healthcare in Wisconsin

As the water fluoridation debate gains traction in Wisconsin — concerning health and dental experts — access to care remains an issue for many Badger State residents, especially those with low incomes and special needs.

Wisconsin officials approved a path for dental therapists, pumped money into the technical colleges and funded a residency program at the Marquette University School of Dentistry. What impact could these changes have on access and what more needs to be done?

Wisconsin Health News is assembling a virtual panel of experts to dissect what’s next for oral healthcare.

Panelists:

• Dr. Tom Reid, President, Wisconsin Dental Association
• Layla Merrifield, President, Wisconsin Technical College System
• Matt Crespin, Executive Director, Children’s Health Alliance of Wisconsin
• Dr. Pat Remington, Professor Emeritus, UW School of Medicine and Public Health
