Dr. Kavita Batra (Medicine) was recently interviewed by the Las Vegas Review Journal to share her insights about a dental clinic "Changing Smiles Pediatric Dentistry," a new nonprofit dental facility in North Las Vegas. Through this article, Batra discusses the preventive strategies in reducing the disparities in oral health outcomes, especially among children, who are more vulnerable to oral health problems due to a wide range of behaviors or risk factors. Batra completed her degree in dental surgery from India, served state health department as a senior dental surgeon in India and supervised several school-based as well as community-based dental public health programs there during 2006-2010.
