Dental Health Service Oral Health Diseases Dental diseases are among the most prevalent health problems in Oklahoma. Although oral diseases are considered highly preventable with knowledge currently available, most of the state's population is affected with some form of dental disease at some time during their lives. Since most dental disease is preventable, dental professionals can influence the course of this disease through preventive measures such as fluoridation programs, dental education and tobacco-use prevention programs, dental sealant programs, and regular dental visits. Teeth are necessary for appearance, for proper speech, and to properly chew food. Untreated dental diseases affect the quality of life of all Oklahomans and can result in very serious health problems.
