Why do dentists accept Medicaid?

Hello dentists, I was just wondering what your thoughts are on for dentists who accept medicaid. Why do dentists choose to accept medicaid knowing that they will receive significantly lower funds than if they didn't? Are dentists who accept medicaid bound to it for life? Is it possible to pay off all loans and accept medicaid? What are the pros and cons? Thanks SDN - just curious
