Thousands of West Virginians live with debilitating mouth pain. According to the Centers for Disease Control, West Virginia ranks last in oral health.

 

This Outlook explores the need for better dental care in West Virginia, visiting the Mission of Mercy free dental clinic in Berkeley County where more than 1200 people received free dental care, and a dentist's office in Wyoming County that sees about 12,000 patients, most of them on Medicaid.
