• Hi, my name is Juan Guerra.
• A current issue facing the youth of America and the world are Dental Carries, also known as cavities.
• Today, Dental caries are Americas number one childhood chronic disease. Affecting nearly 42% of children from the ages of 2-11.
• Black and Hispanic children and those living in families with lower incomes have more decay.
• If nothing is done to stabilize the issue, money spent to fix the cavities will place a big financial burden for uninsured families.
• Much can be done to reduce the risk of cavities, such as proper dental hygiene and regular dental visits.
• The most proven method of combating the issue is to go through the process of dental sealants.
• Dental sealants are a dental treatment consisting of applying a plastic material to one or more teeth, for the intended purpose of preventing dental caries (cavities) or other forms of tooth decay.
• For many, Dental sealants can be applied in minimal time with a simple visit to the Dentist.
• The problem facing uninsured families is that going to the Dentist for a check up can be a financial problem, let alone, the application of sealants can run a family around 30 dollars a tooth.
• My program, is designated for those who are low class and uninsured who hesitate to go to a dental office  due to financial worries.
• Me and a group of assistants along with our Dentist, will go to an underdeveloped neighborhood and perform dental sealants to the occlusal side of the tooth.
• This will hopefully reduce the amount children that develop Dental Carries, therefore insuring that the children of America develop a bright smile.

Capstone Summary

I want to provide free dental sealants to a community that is underdeveloped and submerged in poverty. Treating a child's number one chronic disease can help America save billions of dollars on unnecessary fillings if good dental hygiene is present.
