Nevada Oral Health Matters

Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.

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

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

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

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

Dental disease has been linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pneumonia, and poor pregnancy outcomes.

Medicare, the health insurance for most older adults, does not cover basic dental care.

Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.

Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.

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