Tooth decay is the most common childhood disease, affecting over 50 percent of Americans age 18 and under. To highlight the important role states play in providing access to dental care for children, the Pew Center on the States, the DentaQuest Foundation, and the W.K.

Topics covered include untreated cavity rates, school-based prevention efforts, community water fluoridation, Medicaid program performance, and shortages of dentists.
