Sharp Need for Dental Care Unfilled for Many Immigrants

Tagged: , , , , , ,

“Yet 10 people, maybe more, flocked here March 25 to receive dental services from an unlicensed couple visiting from El Salvador, Fairfax County police said. Officers found a man receiving work in a chair. Others were waiting their turn.

Police arrested the Salvadoran couple, and within days, any sign of a clinic was gone. Many from the Hispanic and dental community say the incident underscores a larger problem in getting affordable medical and dental services to those who exist most on the margins — adult immigrants who fear the system and lack insurance. What other choices did the 10 people waiting that day have, dentists and Hispanic activists ask.”
