Nevada Oral Health Matters

Oral diseases are progressive and cumulative and become more complex over time, and they are preventable.
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.
Even individuals with dentures should receive a dental exam at least annually.
A routine oral health exam can detect signs and symptoms of many health conditions.
Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.
Medicare, the health insurance for most older adults, does not cover basic dental care.
In the US, 164 million work hours are lost each year due to dental disease, leading to decreased productivity.
Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.
Left untreated, dental disease can lead to malnourishment, bacterial infections, required emergency surgery and even death.
