Nevada Oral Health Matters

Even individuals with dentures should receive a dental exam at least annually.
In the US, more than 51 million school hours are lost each year due to dental disease, leading to increased educational disparities.
Oral diseases are progressive and cumulative and become more complex over time, and they are preventable.
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 a neglected epidemic – virtually everyone is affected by them, yet little is done to treat and prevent them.
Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.
Nearly half of all US adults have some form of periodontitis.
More than 500 medications negatively affect the oral cavity.
In the US, 164 million work hours are lost each year due to dental disease, leading to decreased productivity.
