Nevada Oral Health Matters

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.
Tooth decay is an infectious chronic disease, which is also 100% preventable.
In the US, more than 42,000 cases of oral cancer will be diagnosed this year.
Oral diseases are a neglected epidemic – virtually everyone is affected by them, yet little is done to treat and prevent them.
A routine oral health exam can detect signs and symptoms of many health conditions.
More than 500 medications negatively affect the oral cavity.
Dental disease has been linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pneumonia, and poor pregnancy outcomes.
Even individuals with dentures should receive a dental exam at least annually.
Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.
