The 1975 health care bill reached 118.5 billion, up 13.9 percent from 1974. Dental care accounted for 7.5 billion or 6.3 percent of health costs, down from 6.5 percent in 1974 as overall costs grew. ADA president Dr. Robert B. Shira cites limited government funding and private practice efficiency as reasons for the diverging trends. He urges national health programs to leverage private dentistry while prioritizing children's and emergency care.
