Public health problem: Lack of children receiving dental care
Public health problem: Lack of children receiving dental care:
South Carolina is 91% fluoridated:
"In addition to the routine dental complaints of young children - teeth falling out and coming in - school nurses face abscesses, cavities and dental emergencies. Children are going without dental care and dental insurance, according to two studies, leaving schools and public health outreaches as a safety net.
More than 47 percent of U.S. children age 5 and younger have not seen a dentist in the previous year, according to a recent report by researchers at the S.C. Rural Health Research Center at the University of South Carolina Arnold School of Public Health."
