Inspiration

According to WHO, 23% of the US population does not have dental benefits, and this number is much higher in developing countries. Oral health is essential to maintain general health and well-being, but research concluded that the two biggest barriers to dental care are worrying about the out-of-pocket cost and the difficulty of tracking down prices in the first place.
