The ADA and the state dental societies have been working with state and federal legislatures and insurance companies over the years to promote broad ranging solutions to the various hurdles patients face with respect to financing their oral health care. In fact, something exciting is happening in Massachusetts on this topic.

The Massachusetts Dental Society is engaged in a ballot question that will establish how much of the premiums collected by dental insurance companies have to be paid for care. Hear how a patient-friendly policy is being taken directly to voters at the polls this November. Brian Monteiro, Director, Governmental Affairs & Public Relations at the Massachusetts Dental Society and Dr. Andrew Tonelli, current Chair of the Boston District Dental Society, member of MDS Government Affairs Committee and the spokesperson for the Massachusetts Dental Care Providers for Better Dental Benefits share how dentists are supporting better benefits for their patients in the Massachusetts.
