Nevada Oral Health Matters

Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.
Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.
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.
Dental disease has been linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pneumonia, and poor pregnancy outcomes.
Oral diseases are a neglected epidemic – virtually everyone is affected by them, yet little is done to treat and prevent them.
Even individuals with dentures should receive a dental exam at least annually.
Left untreated, dental disease can lead to malnourishment, bacterial infections, required emergency surgery and even death.
Tooth decay is an infectious chronic disease, which is also 100% preventable.
Nearly half of all US adults have some form of periodontitis.
