Wendy Lazarus, founder and co-president of the Children’s Partnership, noted that caries remains the largest unmet children’s health need in California today.
“This is a huge victory for California’s children and children across the nation,” Lazarus said in a statement. “By combining workforce innovations with advances in technology, California is now one step closer to closing the dental care gap kids face and reducing the number of children who miss school or are distracted by pain resulting from the number one chronic health problem among children — dental disease.”
