- Abstract
An editorial is presented which addresses the problems that are associated with oral healthcare in America's rural areas as of 2017, and it mentions a lack of dental professionals outside of the cities in the U.S. Dental coverage under America's Medicaid and Medicare health insurance programs is examined, along with people living in poverty in rural regions and their inability to find transportation to nearby medical centers. Teledentistry and routine dental checkups for patients are assessed.
