Surviving the bite of health care reform: the future for dental benefits.
Dental benefits are not in the eye of the storm over cost and availability of health benefits. However, actions to reform health care on the state and federal level will affect the dental benefit market. Rather than having a direct effect, the potential is for health care reform to inadvertently devastate the dental benefits market and reduce the overall oral health of the nation.
