PRNewswire (11/4) reports that “at the American Public Health Association meeting, leaders in dentistry and public health joined together to launch the Canada-United States Chapter of the Alliance for a Cavity-Free Future,” which “aims to facilitate collaboration among the various professional groups who impact oral health with a specific focus on children under the age of six.” The Alliance points out that “in the United States, a child is five times more likely to seek emergency room treatment for dental problems than for asthma, often because they can’t see a dentist, are uninsured or can’t afford routine dental care.”
