CHICAGO — In 2014, the University of Illinois Chicago had a waiting list of over 1,000 children whose severe cavities required treatment under general anesthesia. Some families, enrolled in Medicaid, needed to drive hours across the state to UIC to access care. Unfortunately many families, after overcoming several barriers to dental care, will experience childhood cavities within six to 12 months after their child’s dental surgery.
