| Description |
Dental decay is the most common chronic disease affecting children in the U.S. Among youth ages 5 to 17, the prevalence of dental caries occurs five times more than asthma, and seven times more than hay fever. The Surgeon General's report, Oral Health in America, emphasizes the importance of this silent epidemic that is hitting American children hard. The report advocates greater awareness of the importance of oral health and its role in general health and well-being. |
