Nevada Oral Health Matters

More than 500 medications negatively affect the oral cavity.

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

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

Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.

Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.

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

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

In the US, more than 51 million school hours are lost each year due to dental disease, leading to increased educational disparities.

Tooth decay is an infectious chronic disease, which is also 100% preventable.

Nearly half of all US adults have some form of periodontitis.
