The death of Deamonte Driver in 2007 from untreated gum disease revealed a smoldering epidemic of poor healthcare, medical neglect, and environmental vulnerability.

Though we have long known of these dangers and dentists were at the forefront of social justice movements in America, willful ignorance has forced us to relearn these historical lessons.
