What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of children who had a dental visit within the past 12 months. |
| Why this is important: Oral health has been shown to impact overall health and well-being. In children, this can have serious consequences on development and ability to learn. Tooth decay is the most common chronic, infectious disease in American children. |
