ening will be their
first dental check-up. In fact, the American Dental Association (ADA) and
the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) state that children from
low-income families are less likely to see a dentist regularly, and suffer
twice as many dental cavities as their peers. In addition, pain and
suffering due to untreated disease lead to problems in eating, speaking and
paying attention in school. The ADA and the AAP also note that 51 million
school hours are lost each year as a result of dental-related problems.
Along with Texas, the initiative benefits children in Florida, Georgia,
Maryland, Mississippi, Tennessee, and the District of Columbia.
