America's youth suffer, unnecessarily, from a silent epidemic.

A recent report, "Oral Health in America: A Report of the Surgeon General," revealed that oral disease affects 50% of first graders and 80% of 17 year olds.

Oral health is critically important to children's education and to the quality of life of both child and the community.

• Tooth decay and gum disease are infectious, progressive, cumulative diseases that grow in complexity with the passage of time.
• Fifty-two million school hours are missed each year by children because of tooth decay.
• Researchers are linking oral disease to diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and pre-term, low weight births.
• Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease. It is five times more common than asthma.
