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 />
