Millions of children in America suffer in pain from untreated dental problems. Without proper attention and care, a child's mouth can become a danger zone, giving way to bacteria and serious disease that can lead to life-long health problems.

Children suffer with pain so severe it affects their ability to eat, sleep and learn, can cause life-long health problems and even death.

As part of our country's uninsured, under-insured and often uneducated families, these children did not benefit from pre-natal and infant preventive education for parents. They also do not receive quality dental services, including basic parent/child oral health education to help prevent dental disease.

The social and economic consequences are devastating for the children and for our nation. Here are the cold hard facts: Pediatric dental disease increases insurance and medical costs for everyone, hinders current and future workforce productivity and ultimately impacts our economy.

Thank you for the kindness and the dedicated effort of NCOHF. You are truly committed to serving and assisting children in need and have worked meticulously with all resources to ensure care has been delivered to children of the underserved community. We are delighted to be officially affiliated with NCOHF!
