Oral Health for Veterans – How Does Nevada Compare?

Oral health is critical to your overall health. According to the American Institute of Dental Public Health (AIDPH), veterans bear a disproportionate burden of dental disease and disability as a result of their military service. Further, across the country more than 85% of Veteran Health Administration enrollees are not eligible for dental care coverage.

AIDPH put together its national report card, evaluating all states, looking at oral health outcomes. What AIDPH discovered is very interesting, to say the least! For a look at the Quick Facts about Veterans Health in Nevada, along with Nevada’s ranking and other important information, go HERE.
