You are more than welcome to petition the state to be the ones to pay for said incentives. All of the above are paid by the state and unlike dentistry there is a huge shortage of above as they are not being paid what they should be paid in VT.

The price you pay a plumber will inevitably be a product of the competition. Vermont is a relatively rural state. Dentists, like physicians are typically more interested in living in urban areas that appeal to college educated professionals. Without increased pay, there is no incentive to move to and practice somewhere more rural. I am not saying there aren't dentists who are going to enjoy what VT has to offer, but there are far more who will enjoy urban life over VT, and you'll need to pay them more to come here. There is a reason why the highest paid physicians live in rural areas.

Vermont also does not have an instate dental school, thus there is not a lot of Vermonters who do decide to go to dental school, and there is no option to stay in your home state if you do.

Vermont also isn't exactly a cheap place to run a business either. Not that it's a bad thing, but it can explain the higher pricing.

You are a plumber. Someone offers you $20 to do a job that normally you charge $100 for. You tell them to fuck off. Same situation here.

Which given the state’s relative rural status and no in state dental program makes sense.

It’s not a fair rate if dentists aren’t willing to take it.
