“Tooth decay is the #1 top chronic disease in children; more common than asthma or childhood obesity”

“33 out of 100 preschoolers living in America experience tooth decay, and those living in poverty have the highest prevalence of untreated dental caries.”

“Children who have cavities in their baby teeth are 3 times more likely to get cavities in their adult teeth. Children with poor oral health are nearly 3 times more likely to miss school as a result of dental pain.”

“Approximately 34 million school hours are lost each year due to dental problems.  These children are also more likely to have lower school performance.”
