Nevada Oral Health Matters

Tooth decay is an infectious chronic disease, which is also 100% preventable.
Periodontal disease is associated with poor blood sugar control for those living with diabetes.
Nearly half of all US adults have some form of periodontitis.
More than 500 medications negatively affect the oral cavity.
Medicare, the health insurance for most older adults, does not cover basic dental care.
Oral diseases are progressive and cumulative and become more complex over time, and they are preventable.
Left untreated, dental disease can lead to malnourishment, bacterial infections, required emergency surgery and even death.
Dental disease has been linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pneumonia, and poor pregnancy outcomes.
Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.
In the US, 164 million work hours are lost each year due to dental disease, leading to decreased productivity.
