• Children and Tooth Decay. The greatest disparity is seen in Mexican American and black, non-Hispanic children
• Adults and Untreated Tooth Decay. Blacks, non-Hispanics, and Mexican Americans experience untreated tooth decay nearly twice as much as white, non-Hispanics.
• Adults and Oral Cancer. The 5–year survival rate is lower for oral pharyngeal (throat) cancers among black men than whites (36% versus 61%).
