Nevada Oral Health Matters

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

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

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

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

Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.

Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.

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.

More than 500 medications negatively affect the oral cavity.

Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.
