Dr. Jessica Ngo, a dentist at Total Health Dental Care, reflects on her childhood and the lack of dental care supervision she experienced. A recent poll indicates that a majority of California voters are concerned about proposed changes to Medi-Cal, which directly affect access to dental care. Moreover, data points to a higher prevalence of periodontal disease among Black and Mexican American adults, underscoring the urgent need for improved oral health policies. The California Reparations Task Force has made 115 recommendations aimed at addressing these disparities.
According to one IGS poll, more than half - 56% - of California voters believe the state will be negatively impacted by proposed changes to Medi-Cal.
The prevalence of periodontal disease is higher among Black and Mexican American adults age 30 and older, according to Oral Health in America: Advances and Challenges.
