Importance of Dental Care

Approximately 70% of older American’s lack dental insurance, and nearly half do not go to the dentist regularly. More than 20% of Medicare beneficiaries have not visited a dentist in five years. 1https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/04/americans-dental-dentist-teeth-health-insurance
Lower-income Americans, including seniors, experience higher rates of tooth decay, gum disease and oral cancer, because they avoid or delay dental care due to costs.
The disparities in oral health in the US are prevalent among economic lines.
According to The Guardian1, about 74 million people have no dental insurance coverage, and nearly half of those cannot afford to pay out of pocket for extensive dental care needs, including nearly two-thirds of Medicare beneficiaries.
“Dental care is the No 1 medical service that Americans skip because of cost,” said Melissa Burroughs, the associate director for the Oral Health Campaign at the non-profit consumer health advocacy organization Families USA. “Oral health is not just a health issue, it’s a social justice and equity issue.”
