Extend Medicaid to include dental

Everone has a right to good dental hygiene, it is an intregal part of good health. The problem is Medicaid only covers children. I am a disabled senior ,I used to have coverage for dental but since moving to Missori in 2009 I have had non. Consequently I have had to have three savable teeth pulled as I could not afford crowns and I have had two crowns break off that I cannot replace. Bad teeth can permeate your body with infection and cause excruciating pain. Good dental care should be considered 'preventive care' the lack of basic dental care can cause many other illnesses.
