When children can’t access early care regular preventative dental care, small dental issues often turn into painful emergencies.
Too often, kids end up in emergency rooms for severe tooth pain—where providers can only treat the symptoms, not the underlying dental problem. This is traumatic for children, stressful for families, and far more costly for the healthcare system.
Proposed cuts to Medi-Cal Dental would make this crisis even worse by drastically reducing the number of dentists able to see children and further limiting access to care. Millions of California children would be affected. At Kids Dental Place, we believe access to care should be available for all of California’s children.
The attached press release explains the real-world impact these cuts could have on children, families, and pediatric dental providers across California.
