Summary
Oral health is essential for healthy development and affects overall health. However, not all California children are receiving dental care at recommended intervals. According to 2015-2016 county-by-county California Health Interview Survey data, 78% of children ages 2-11 received dental care within six months in 2015-2016. Timely dental care varied greatly across California, ranging from 61% in Imperial County to 90% in Marin County.
