Children in low-income households are more likely to face the greatest barriers to accessing care and experience the painful effects of untreated tooth decay.

Community water fluoridation is one of the simplest, safest ways to prevent cavities and strengthen enamel for kids and adults. In fact, communities with fluoridated water see fewer cavities and lower oral health care costs. #teethmatter

Oral health care access shouldn't depend on what insurance you have. For patients with Apple Health (Washington state's Medicaid program) coverage, DentistLink is a free referral service that makes it easier to find a dentist. #teethmatter
