The ADA recommends that children see a dentist no later than their first birthday, yet only three out of five children have seen a dentist before kindergarten. By then, over half (52 percent) of 6-8 year olds have tooth decay, according to the Healthy People 2000 oral health report. Pain from untreated dental disease makes it difficult for children to eat, sleep and pay attention in school, and it negatively affects their self-esteem.
