Nevada Oral Health Matters

Tooth decay is an infectious chronic disease, which is also 100% preventable.

In the US, more than 51 million school hours are lost each year due to dental disease, leading to increased educational disparities.

In the US, more than 42,000 cases of oral cancer will be diagnosed this year.

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

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

Oral diseases are a neglected epidemic – virtually everyone is affected by them, yet little is done to treat and prevent them.

In the US, 164 million work hours are lost each year due to dental disease, leading to decreased productivity.

Nearly half of all US adults have some form of periodontitis.

A routine oral health exam can detect signs and symptoms of many health conditions.

Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.
