Abstract
Children in the U.S. suffer from high rates of cavities, dental caries, and other childhood oral diseases. Pediatric oral healthcare in the United States is a very important issue; however, despite funding for pediatric oral healthcare from federal, state, and private organizations it remains an often neglected issue. Expanded preventive care services, strengthened relationships between policymakers, dental care providers and public health professionals are needed to improve the oral healthcare delivery for children
