Nevada Oral Health Matters

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

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

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

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

Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.

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

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

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

Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.

Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.
