Kentucky Making Progress in Kids Oral Health
Kentucky has made progress in ensuring low-income children receive dental services, yet there still is much work to be done in order to improve children’s oral health in the state according to the 2011 County Data Book, released November 29 by Kentucky Youth Advocates. This is the 21st annual release of the data book, part of the Kentucky Kids Count project. The project monitors progress for Kentucky’s 1 million children on more than 100 measures of child well-being, including health, safety, economic well-being, and education.
