Thank you for working on this vital issue. We hope it gets resolved as soon as possible. Dental care is critical to ones well-being. My daughter has been waiting a year for dental work, and we're being told it will be another 6 months waiting. And if they find cavities, they will pull the tooth. She may end up with most of her teeth pulled due to the long wait. Also, the anesthesia for the disabled needs to be better understood.
