In this episode, Catherine Hayes, the Chair of the Department of Oral Health Policy and Epidemiology at Harvard, explores the critical and often overlooked issue of dental care accessibility for young children. Catherine sheds light on the necessity of early preventive dental care to beat back the tide of preventable conditions like dental caries that, if neglected, lead to costly treatments.  Stay tuned in the conversation that’s redefining the dental industry, focusing not just on treatment but preventive education and community-centric care models.
