Is Oral Health an Important Health Concern? Cavities or Tooth Decay is 5 times as common as asthma and 7 times as common as hay fever. Children and adolescents living in poverty suffer TWICE as much tooth decay as their affluent peers, and their disease is more likely to go untreated.

Why Teach Oral Health? According to the Surgeon General’s Report on Oral Health, more than 51 MILLION SCHOOL HOURS are lost each year because of dental-related illness. The daily reality for children with untreated oral disease is often persistent PAIN, inability to eat comfortably or chew well, embarrassment, and DISTRACTION FROM LEARNING.

HEALTH PROMOTION: Actions that enable or empower individuals to improve their health. Goal - Improve the QUALITY OF LIFE though Optimal ORAL HEALTH! .
