State Oral Health Dashboard
Data-Driven Change for an Oral Health Crisis
More than one quarter of adults in the US — 72 million people — do not have dental insurance. The inability to receive dental care is a threat to overall health. And, it costs the health care system billions every year in treating chronic diseases, lost productivity, and emergency department visits for non-traumatic dental conditions.
To improve health outcomes and reduce costs, policymakers, administrators, and advocates need data to understand access, costs, and outcomes by state. The State Oral Health Dashboard breaks down the data for 16 measures by state.
Note: This dashboard provides state-level information for reference purposes only and does not function as a rank or scoring system
