Patients/community members discuss health literacy. (2023)
As a teacher I can see with some of my students how their parents who sometimes can’t even afford daycare, how they put their child’s health, especially dental health, on the back line. I have a two-year-old little girl who has rotten teeth at two. And so I also think it may be kind of more like a lack of education. I remember when I was in elementary school, we used to have the dental truck. I’m not sure if the dental truck comes to schools anymore. So kind of the lack of education on not the dentist’s part, but maybe on the school system, the government, I don’t know who used to bring those trucks there, but kind of like the lack of information. Parents don’t have that information. People don’t have that information.
