| Most parents
take time to teach their children about oral health,
according to a recent survey of 1,165 adults with
children.
The survey found that:
- 92% of parents
take time to teach their children about proper oral
health.
- 83% of parents
said that daily oral health care is at least as
important as daily exercise.
The survey also
identified some barriers that prevent many parents from
obtaining oral health care for their children.
- An estimated
11.6 million U.S. families do not seek oral health care
for children at least once a year.
- Almost 22
million families with children are without dental
insurance.
- Lack of
insurance is a significant barrier for many families in
obtaining dental care.
