script in progress

  • 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.
