I found Dr. James Pride`s article in the September issue somewhat confusing. He states that "Employers are cutting back on dental coverage en masse.O Dr. Pride then goes on to say that 20 years ago, 9 percent of employers provided coverage while today the number is close to 48 percent. I believe that this trend demonstrates an increase rather than a cut back.
