Why Dental Education Matters
Did you know?
- 1 in 5 school-aged children suffer from untreated tooth decay.
- Children with poor oral health are nearly 3x more likely to miss school due to dental pain.
- Pennsylvania law requires dental exams before starting school, and again in 3rd and 7th grade.
Our outreach programs address these challenges by equipping kids with tools and knowledge to stay healthy in school and at home.
