What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of parents/guardians reporting that their child (age 2-17) has visited a dentist or dental clinic (for any reason) in the past year. |
| Why this is important: The health of the mouth and surrounding craniofacial (skull and face) structures is central to a person's overall health and well-being. Oral and craniofacial diseases and conditions include: dental caries (tooth decay); periodontal (gum) diseases; cleft lip and palate; oral and facial pain; and oral and pharyngeal (mouth and throat) cancers. Oral health is essential to overall health. Good oral health improves a person's ability to speak, smile, smell, taste, touch, chew, swallow, and make facial expressions to show feelings and emotions. However, oral diseases, from cavities to oral cancer, cause pain and disability for many Americans. Good self-care, such as brushing with fluoride toothpaste, daily flossing, and professional treatment, is key to good oral health.
The Healthy People 2020 national health target is for 49.0% of children (2-17) to have a dental visit each year.
