Nevada Oral Health Matters

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

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.

In the US, more than 42,000 cases of oral cancer will be diagnosed this year.

Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.

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

Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.

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

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

In the US, 164 million work hours are lost each year due to dental disease, leading to decreased productivity.
