Nevada Oral Health Matters

Medicare, the health insurance for most older adults, does not cover basic dental care.

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

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

Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.

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

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

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

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

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

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