The Louisiana legislature is considering a bill – backed by state's Dental Association – that would ban mobile dental clinics that travel to schools to provide dental care to children.
Critics say these travelling clinics (often set up in school gymnasiums or libraries) are unsanitary and inadequate.
Some changes to the bill have loosened the regulations, allowing mobile clinics to treat children in areas the state has deemed underserved by dentists.
Mobile clinics have become more common in Louisiana in the past year because higher Medicaid payouts have made treating poor children more profitable. No problems have been reported.
