Three years ago, the death of a 12-year-old Maryland boy from a simple toothache brought national attention to the lack of available dental care for poor families in the United States. There were blue-ribbon commissions, a host of policy recommendations and promises that a case like Deamonte Driver's would never happen again. And now? At least one in five children doesn't receive needed dental care, and most states haven't done nearly enough to solve the problem. Sounds like some promises were broken along the way, huh?
