DENTAL HEALTH & SCHOOL
Cavities (also known as caries or tooth decay) 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.
  • About 1 of 5 (20%) children aged 5 to 11 years have at least one untreated decayed tooth.
  • 1 of 7 (13%) adolescents aged 12 to 19 years have at least one untreated decayed tooth.
  • Children aged 5 to 19 years from low-income families are twice as likely (25%) to have cavities, compared with children from higher-income households (11%).
Click here for more information on how to maintain good oral health to keep students in school.
​​The key is to seek help before it impacts your students' learning and overall health. You may find the resources on this webpage helpful in finding a provider for your child if they are suffering from dental pain. Contact your child's school nurse if you need further assistance.
