Oral Health Initiatives

We believe that collaborations with a broad-based constituency including, but not limited to oral health and health professionals, educators, industry, government agencies, institutions, and organizations are necessary to identify health needs and programming gaps of those populations most vulnerable to oral diseases.

Initiatives serve as a first step for long-term change through specific, defined activities.  Our initiatives support our priorities and the objectives outlined in our annual work plan – each with the same outcome – better oral health for all Nevadans.

Nevada Oral Health Matters

Tooth decay is an infectious chronic disease, which is also 100% preventable.
Nearly half of all US adults have some form of periodontitis.
Oral diseases are progressive and cumulative and become more complex over time, and they are preventable.
Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.
Even individuals with dentures should receive a dental exam at least annually.
Periodontal disease is associated with poor blood sugar control for those living with diabetes.
Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.
Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.
In the US, 164 million work hours are lost each year due to dental disease, leading to decreased productivity.
A routine oral health exam can detect signs and symptoms of many health conditions.
