People In Need of Affordable Denture Care
denturist
Dealing with the shortage and availability of dentists and denture
services in Wyoming makes it difficult for those working families on
low or limited income to afford dental services due to limited
competition, especially in rural areas of the state.
Regulating denturism as a licensed profession in Wyoming via the
"Wyoming Denturist Act" initiative will compensate for the shortage of
dentists by freeing up chair time for emergency, preventive,
restorative, and cosmetic procedures.
Denturists are denture specialists who are trained and educated in
sciences, clinical skills, and interpersonal skills that provide
affordable denture care. They have the skills and knowledge necessary
to provide a removable oral prosthesis service directly to the
community that cost up to 50% less than what the dentist charges for
the same denture service.
Through the current denture delivery system, seniors and others with
disabilities often face economic and unavailability barriers to obtain
dentures or denture related services. According to a January 02
article in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, "Will there be a need
for complete dentures in the United States in 2020?" The adult
population in need of 1 or 2 complete dentures will increase from 33.6
million to 37.9 million adults in 2020.
The "Wyoming Denturist Act" initiative, Coalition for Freedom of
Choice in Denture Care is in need of your agency's endorsement and
support to gain the required thirty-five thousand registered Wyoming
voter signatures, for the November 08 general election ballot, where
it can be considered by the voters.
The Wyoming Sate Denturist Association website can be seen at
http://www.wysda.org/. Thank you for your support and consideration in
giving Wyoming's people the same options that our neighbors, Idaho and
Montana have received for decades in Freedom of Choice for their
denture care.
