Nevada Oral Health Matters

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

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

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

Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.

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.

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.

More than 500 medications negatively affect the oral cavity.
