Give Children a Chance for a Brighter Future
1 in 5 Children Have at Least 1 Untreated Cavity
We believe in a Santa Cruz County where all kids have the health they need to reach their full potential. Do you?
According to the Center of Disease Control, cavities are one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood in the United States. Untreated cavities can cause pain and infections that may lead to problems with eating, speaking, playing, and learning. Children who have poor oral health often miss more school and receive lower grades than children who don't. Children from low-income families are twice as likely to have cavities, compared with children from higher-income households.
You Can Give These Children a Chance for a Better Future.
