Nevada Oral Health Matters

Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.

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.

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

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

More than 500 medications negatively affect the oral cavity.

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.

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

Oral diseases are a neglected epidemic – virtually everyone is affected by them, yet little is done to treat and prevent them.
