Two central Illinois dentist offices have recently closed, citing the lack of payments from the state for dental care given to public employees. 

 

Champaign Dental Care and its sister location, Auburn Dental Care have shut their doors. The office in Auburn was the only dental practice in the city.

 

 

Jamey Dunn talked with Greg Johnson, executive director of the Illinois State Dental Society, about the state budget impasse's effect on dentists.
