One of America’s Most Unmet Health Needs

Dental care remains one of the largest unmet health needs in the United States, with substantial disparities by race and socioeconomic status. Research indicates that Black and Hispanic children ages 2 to 8 are about twice as likely as non-Hispanic white children to have untreated tooth decay. Among working-age adults, non-Hispanic Black individuals are nearly twice as likely as non-Hispanic White adults to have untreated dental decay (40 % vs 21 %).

Why Oral Care Matters

Poor oral health and the risk for these othercomplications later in life often start in childhood.
