More about our #FoodFri Featured Panelist(s):
Children's Dental Health Project
In 1996, Dr. Burton Edelstein, a pediatric dentist, went to Congress with a simple idea: Make it easier for high-risk kids to get dental care. Dr. Edelstein had seen too many children with painful mouths and rotted teeth. Most tooth decay can be prevented, but families at highest risk for dental problems—families with few resources—often delayed care.
The Children's Dental Health Project, a national non-profit organization, was born from that simple idea. Today, it advances evidence-based and cost-effective solutions to improve the oral health of children and their families.
