@bethmertz @DeltaDental This is where you have a heart to heart with your dentist (or his office staff), ask about the extra charges for your children, then suggest that unless he reconsiders joining the network, your family will need to go elsewhere for more affordable care.

@AFS_Fluoride So this would be an anniversary of the day smiles began to return to our country. There’s more to be had if we can fluoridate the last holdouts where false science has unnecessarily scared off public policymakers.

[Jeff Album @jalbum]

@ASlavitt Part B is complicated as a solution for Medicare Dental. That’s what ADA is saying. Dental is fundamentally different from medical and those differences are not understood at all by Congress.

@AFS_Fluoride Did you see him in The NY Times this am? Called out for being the single spreader of misinformation about COVID vaccines and documents his business model making millions of dollars selling products that address the lies he spreads about proven medical treatments and approaches.

[Jeff Album @jalbum]

@mattindctweets Agree with your assessment. Not sure you should be spreading her terrible conclusions!

[Jeff Album @jalbum]

@ChrisPyle_of_VA @hvccturf Can you please route that path to Contra Costa County, CA? My two month water bill was over $600.

@garcoak @maggiesmithpoet Great news Gary.

[Jeff Album @jalbum]

@garcoak Anyone who thought they had “chased” you off Twitter clearly didn’t know you Gary.

[Jeff Album @jalbum]

@mdweinberg @BeaconEconomics I want to believe. Give me a reason to believe!

[Jeff Album @jalbum]

@kferre51 Let’s be sure to clarify; they are trying to say inadequate or not enough exposure to the recommended amount of community-fluoridated water. (It can be read differently.

[Fluoridation Society @AFS_Fluoride]

Let's make 2020 the best year to date in refuting the propaganda of the opponents to #fluoridation!

[Jeff Album @jalbum]

@realDonaldTrump Gosh, thinking: “Didn’t you only release the 400 mill Congress appropriated for military aid to the Ukraine after you got caught red handed withholding that aid unless its president announced investigating your political rival?”

[Jeff Album @jalbum]

@ChalmersDDSPhD @ADAHPI @AcademyHealth You do recognize, I hope, that larger practice size and lower practice ownership also correlates with higher dental insurance fee schedules which correlates with higher dental insurance premiums, which correlates with lower consumer uptake of and access to dental insurance.

[Jeff Album @jalbum]

@AFS_Fluoride On behalf of Delta Dental, I applaud the message and the effort AFS makes to promulgate the truth about the benefits of Fluoridation.

@GhostVindaloo @sarahkliff I’ve grown a little weary over years hearing people lament two different healthcare systems - one for dental, the other medical.Twitter does not allow enough characters for me to count the ways in which medicine and dentistry are inherently different.

#OralHealth is essential to the general health and well-being of all Americans, and it is a window into the health of the body. Today’s announcement will help expand access to these vital services & advance #PublicHealth in our communities. #WednesdayWisdom

[Jeff Album @jalbum]

@ChalmersDDSPhD @ADAHPI @KFF Delta Dental support adding dental to Medicare. The options to add to Part B, versus a new separate voluntary section (Part T for teeth?) is an interesting policy choice. The differences in cost to the American taxpayer are significant.

[Jeff Album @jalbum]

@sarahkliff Kinda what Drew said today as well. Yea? https://t.co/moQ4PwKwSa
