The Challenge
Millions of low income children in the United States do not receive proper dental care and may experience acute dental pain. Low-income children are up to 5 times more likely to have untreated tooth decay which frequently causes general health problems, learning difficulties, discomfort, eating problems, and self esteem issues.
Mobile dental teams operating in school environments have been shown to be an effective tool in addressing these problems.
