Description:
Report on states' key role in ensuring that low-income children have access to basic, preventive dental care produced with support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the DentaQuest Foundation. The report assessed and graded states and the District of Columbia on eight proven policy solutions that ensure dental health and access to care. A 50-state report card shows that just six states earned an ā€œAā€ and that 36 states received a ā€œCā€ or lower.
