Dental health topicof panel discussion

AUGUSTA — A free panel discussion, “The Economics of the Lack of Dental Care,” will be held Wednesday, March 7, at the Augusta Civic Center.

The forum, hosted by the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, runs from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

Moderated by Frank McGinty of MaineHealth, panelists will discuss the lack of access in Maine to dental care, how it affects businesses and Maine’s economy, and how it requires a look at possible new policies to expand access to dental services for adults and children.

About 40 percent of Mainers live in federally designated dental health professional shortage areas, according to the Pew Center on the States.
