Article Review:

Through this health news article, preventive dental care access is discussed. A study reported that in 2008, between 23 to 43 percent of Americans did not receive preventive dental care. In addition, from the study, it was found that smokers are less likely to seek preventive dental care.

 

This information is important because it illustrates that many Americans are not getting the necessary preventative dental care that they need to ensure that tooth decay and periodontal disease are kept at bay. In addition, smokers, who need more preventive care due to the threat to oral health, are not getting the treatments that they need.
