Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The social impact of oral disease is substantial. More than 51 million school hours are lost each year because of dental problems. Poor children experience nearly 12 times more restricted activity days than do their counterparts from higher-income families. Among those who lost school time, youngsters from low-income families, members of minority communities, and families without insurance missed more hours. Children with early childhood caries-often a severe and painful form of dental caries-can demonstrate failure to thrive and be underweight.
