Money woes shut down mobile dental clinic

Another critical factor in the demise of Miles for Smiles is the overall shortage of dentists in Maine. The mobile unit has been staffed with dentists and hygienists drawn from the Union Street clinic. That has left the clinic critically short-staffed at a time when PCHC is already scrambling to replace four of its nine dentists, Drohan said.

"Dentists today have lots of options in front of them," he said, and living in the middle of Maine, serving a low-income population and earning comparatively low public health wages isn't for everyone. Some of the clinic's former dentists have recently moved to warmer climates to be nearer their families, Drohan said, while others have joined private dental practices in more prosperous areas where they can be assured of a higher income.

Attorney General Files Injunction Trying To Close A Teeth-Whitening Business

Charleston -- They brighten smiles, yet the dental community is frowning on a teeth-whitening business. The state says Brighten Smiles, USA is practicing dentistry without a license..

Why are dentists doing teeth whitening in the first place. They are neglecting Americans suffering with tooth decay and acting like spa employees. Organized dentistry protects its lucrative tooth fixing monopoly. There is no reason they should be allowed to have a monopoly on tooth whitening. One wonders who provoked the attorney general to take such frivolous action.
