Nevada Oral Health Matters

Periodontal disease is associated with poor blood sugar control for those living with diabetes.
Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.
In the US, more than 42,000 cases of oral cancer will be diagnosed this year.
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.
Nearly half of all US adults have some form of periodontitis.
In the US, 164 million work hours are lost each year due to dental disease, leading to decreased productivity.
Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.
Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.
Oral diseases are a neglected epidemic – virtually everyone is affected by them, yet little is done to treat and prevent them.
