Why We Exist:

For the first time in history we are raising a generation of children that are expected to have shorter and/or unhealthier lives than their parents. Preventable chronic diseases are spreading at an epidemic rate among children with no traces of stopping. Tooth decay in children is by far the most prevalent of chronic diseases that not only disproportionately affects children in poverty, but is also most easily preventable when compared to other common chronic conditions such as asthma, obesity, or diabetes. We are working to create a model for integrative pediatric health with an emphasis on optimal oral health that serves as the foundation for optimal general health.

    Broken System
