Kids going to the ER for dental care – Dental 4 Less.
Too many Americans, particularly kids, are in emergency rooms with rotten teeth issues. According to surveys by the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 10 states within the past three years, the percentage of third graders with untreated tooth decay ran as high as 40 percent in Arizona to just under 15 percent in Washington State. A study by the Pew Center for the States found that preventable dental conditions were the primary reason for more than 830,000 emergency room visits in the U.S. in 2009, up 16 percent from just three years before.
