There seems to be some correlation between cavities and children in low income homes. There is likely a number of factors to this, but junk food I believe seems to be one of them.
However, maybe more to your point, the issue is also accessibility to healthy foods at reasonable prices. Additionally, likely parent education about how fucking awful soda and candy is.

If that’s the issue, banning soda and candy for everybody would also improve things for poor kids.
I mean, I wouldn’t disagree.
