Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.
In the US, more than 51 million school hours are lost each year due to dental disease, leading to increased educational disparities.
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.
Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.
Oral diseases are progressive and cumulative and become more complex over time, and they are preventable.
In the US, 164 million work hours are lost each year due to dental disease, leading to decreased productivity.
Left untreated, dental disease can lead to malnourishment, bacterial infections, required emergency surgery and even death.
