USA - North Carolina 08-09 OHS Annual Report
08-09 OHS Annual Report
Tooth decay affects more children than any other chronic childhood disease, in spite of the fact that it is almost entirely preventable. Almost 40 percent of North Carolina kindergarten children have already had tooth decay in their primary (baby) teeth by the time they start school. Children experiencing pain are distracted and unable to learn in school, cannot eat well or sleep at night, experience speech problems and suffer from reduced self-esteem. Reducing tooth decay will reduce the pain and suffering children endure from infected teeth and gums and improve the quality of children’s lives.
North Carolina is 88% fluoridated:NYSCOF
