Nevada Oral Health Matters

Pediatric dental disease is five times more common than asthma.

Periodontal disease is associated with poor blood sugar control for those living with diabetes.

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

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

Approximately 43% of Americans lack dental insurance.

Tooth decay is the #1 chronic childhood illness.

Oral diseases are progressive and cumulative and become more complex over time, and they are preventable.

Left untreated, dental disease can lead to malnourishment, bacterial infections, required emergency surgery and even death.

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

More than 500 medications negatively affect the oral cavity.
