🦷🚨 When a Toothache Becomes a Crisis
For many in northern Minnesota, accessing dental care is not as simple as scheduling an appointment. Long wait times, limited provider availability, and insurance challenges make even routine care difficult to obtain. What begins as a manageable issue can quickly become something more serious.
“We hear from individuals and families all the time about how hard it is to get dental care, and the impact that delayed or missed care has on their quality of life. At the same time, we hear from providers who want to do more. Our role at Community Action is to listen and make sure those experiences are part of the conversation as solutions are considered.” - Marta Carrigan, KOOTASCA's Executive Director
If you or your family have experienced challenges accessing dental care, KOOTASCA invites you to share your experience. www.kootasca.org/contact/voice/
