Nevada Oral Health Matters

Periodontal disease is associated with poor blood sugar control for those living with diabetes.
In the US, more than 42,000 cases of oral cancer will be diagnosed this year.
Nearly half of all US adults have some form of periodontitis.
Tooth decay is an infectious chronic disease, which is also 100% preventable.
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.
Oral diseases are a neglected epidemic – virtually everyone is affected by them, yet little is done to treat and prevent them.
Left untreated, dental disease can lead to malnourishment, bacterial infections, required emergency surgery and even death.
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.
