Last November, NADP issued a press release on the impact of preventive dental care on the cost for care of Medicaid patients with certain chronic conditions. That press release can be found here. On March 2, 2018, Jerry Berggren, Director of Research and Information, presented the findings from that research to an Oral Health 2020 workgroup seeking to expand Medicaid dental benefits to adult populations.

That presentation was made via conference call and with the workgroup’s permission we are able to make the audio of that presentation available to members and nonmembers.
