Stat: 63 million Americans, many of them children, live in areas with a shortage of dental care.
Story: To help alleviate this, a new kind of
dental provider is being created: dental therapists, who are much
like physician assistants in a medical office. In this episode host
Dan LeDuc heads to Minnesota to join one of them, Christy Jo
Fogarty, as she travels the state to bring dental care to children,
many of whom have never been to a dentist before.
