when it's a Medicaid assignment. There are very few dentists who take Medicaid patients, in case you didn't know that. Finding one who does is hard. Transferring out is harder. I agree with you, believe me I do, but There is a little reality here too. And it's ugly. A lot of the dentists who take Medicaid are either beginners or not very good. Sometimes, if you're lucky and live near a dental school, you can go there because they usually take it. The students work under supervision so it's safe.
