Community Impact: Big Idea Talk

Every child with special health care needs (SHCNs) deserves a healthy smile, but dental care is the second most common unmet health need for them.

Pediatric Dentist Jeff Karp urges families to share their experiences with health care providers.

The power of these experiences can be leveraged through professional telementoring networks (Project ECHO) to transform how others with SHCNs receive care.
