Abstract
Early childhood caries continues to be a problem in the U.S. This paper examines the progression, etiology, prevention and treatment of this condition. A suggested future direction for research and governmental action needed to combat this expensive and debilitating condition is presented. The author recognizes all that the CDA has done and is doing to help prevent this debilitating oral disease in California.
