Left untreated, dental disease can lead to malnourishment, bacterial infections, required emergency surgery and even death.

More than 500 medications negatively affect the oral cavity.

Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.

Even individuals with dentures should receive a dental exam at least annually.

Dental disease has been linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pneumonia, and poor pregnancy outcomes.

Oral diseases are progressive and cumulative and become more complex over time, and they are preventable.
