CUSP - January 2015

Nevada Oral Health Matters

Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.

Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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