Tooth decay may seem minor to some families, but for many children, treatment is out of reach. They live each day in pain. They miss school. They can’t sleep. Even eating hurts. Without access to care, they may lose teeth or develop serious infections.

Why do so many children in America still lack access to dental care?

Tooth decay is an inconvenience for most families. But for many children, treatment is out of reach. They live each day in pain. They miss school. They can’t sleep. Even eating hurts. They lose teeth and risk dangerous infections that can be deadly.

How does this happen in the wealthiest country in the world?

Unawareness that tooth decay is a contagious disease

Lack of basic oral health products

Absence of Medicaid

In some cases, parental neglect

Belief that baby teeth don't matter

Failure to form good oral health habits

Restricted access to dentists

Homelessness

Inability to pay for dental care
