Dental Care Remains America's Largest Unmet Health Need
The Pew Children's Dental Campaign strives for cost-effective policies that will mean millions more children get the basic dental care they need to grow, learn and lead healthy lives. One challenge is to ensure there are enough dental professionals to serve low-income kids. Pew's new report, "It Takes a Team," shows that hiring new types of providers can be a win-win for private dental practices, allowing them to serve more low-income children while maintaining their financial bottom line.
