Abstract

Within the context of a conversation on national healthcare improvement, dental care for children has not been high on the public radar screen. This is disappointing given the consistently dreadful outcomes for children who live in poor communities. Inadequate dental care for children from economically challenged communities is a chronic problem in both urban and rural settings. As a result, the incidence of dental caries and inadequate oral hygiene among these youngsters is at epidemic proportions.
