Are the unmet needs of children overshadowed by our concern for the aged?
During the last twenty-five years, the economic status of the aged has improved substantially. Far less improvement and attention has been directed to the need for--and use of--health and social services by children, both poor and nonpoor alike. Dental care is one of the categories of services that balanced more favorably to include all age groups.
