Nevada Oral Health Matters

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

More than 500 medications negatively affect the oral cavity.

Periodontal disease is associated with poor blood sugar control for those living with diabetes.

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

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

Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.

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

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

Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.

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