Importance of Dental and Mental <strong>Health</strong><br />

The economic<br />

burden of poor<br />

dental and mental<br />

care are very high<br />

People should see a<br />

dentist once every 6<br />

months<br />

Serious mental<br />

illness costs the U.S.<br />

nearly $200 billion<br />

and preventative<br />

dental care can cut<br />

overall dental costs<br />

by about 50%<br />

Mental illness<br />

impacts nearly<br />

every facet of life<br />

Bridget Gainer, Cook County Commissioner
