Nevada Oral Health Matters

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

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

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

Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.

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.

Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.

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

Medicare, the health insurance for most older adults, does not cover basic dental care.

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