This indicator shows the percent of adults who have had at least six permanent teeth extracted due to tooth decay or gum disease.
Why is this important?
Oral health has been shown to impact overall health and well-being. Nearly one-third of all adults in the United States have untreated tooth decay, or tooth caries. In addition, one in seven adults aged 35 to 44 years old has periodontal (gum) disease. The severity and prevalence of periodontal disease increase with age. Periodontal disease and tooth decay are the most frequent causes of tooth loss. Having missing teeth can affect overall health and nutrition. Given these serious health consequences, it is important to maintain good oral health.
