Nevada Oral Health Matters

Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.
Oral diseases are a neglected epidemic – virtually everyone is affected by them, yet little is done to treat and prevent them.
A routine oral health exam can detect signs and symptoms of many health conditions.
In the US, more than 42,000 cases of oral cancer will be diagnosed this year.
Medicare, the health insurance for most older adults, does not cover basic dental care.
Nearly half of all US adults have some form of periodontitis.
In the US, 164 million work hours are lost each year due to dental disease, leading to decreased productivity.
Even individuals with dentures should receive a dental exam at least annually.
Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.
Left untreated, dental disease can lead to malnourishment, bacterial infections, required emergency surgery and even death.
