ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: B
One of the most frequent complaints of school-aged children is dental caries. Causes include poor oral hygiene, lack of fluoridated water, and lack of funds or insurance for dental care. Half of children aged 12 to 15 years will have dental caries. Approximately 75% of those between the ages of 12 and 19 years have had tooth decay. Dental caries occur as a more frequent complaint than anxiety over grades, headaches in response to stress, and stomachaches.
