Nevada Oral Health Matters

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

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

Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.

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.

Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.
