Do dentists really care about poor patients cause a 12 yr old died due to not being able to afford a dentist?

A 12 yr old boy in MD died due to not having recieved Dental care in time to prevent the infection from going to his brain. The mom is on Medicaid and she works, but has no dental insurance offered - This was a needless and unneccessary death of a child due to not being to find a dentist and specialist that was willing to accept medicaid. So are dentist just in it for the money- or do they REALLY CARE about the work they do and the need that exists among the poor?

I think that it has everything to do with money. If the dentist doesn't get paid, they cannot keep running their office. But a good dentist can at least assess the problem and severity and locate another doctor for the patient who can help or do the operation himself. Everything costs money but there are far and few who will go without to help someone out. I think dental insurance is the least priority of all health insurance. If you want to get good health care, it is something you have to pay for on the side, if your employer provides you insurance. There is a hospital here who can clean and pretty much just do the basics but will refer any patient out who needs a tooth pulled because they do not want to be held liable for anything happening. Now that for instance, is a case where if you know a tooth needs to be taken out and is causing the patient to be in severe pain, the dentist should just do it. In order to become a dentist you have to be trained to do abstractions. Its common sense but all this mumbo jumbo about health care and politics is causing people to go without the necessary treatment. Did the mother negelct her child? No, i dont think so. He seen a dentist and none would do anything with the boy because they did not accept her type of insurance. What kind of country is this? Politics hold up whats hurting the country and what the people need in order to survive and take care of their families yet, while all the arguing is going on about who can get insured and what not, their families are taken care of just fine. So the question is, who really cares about any of us.
