Tooth decay is the most common infectious, chronic childhood disease. It is five times more common than asthma. Tooth
decay affects more than just teeth; it hurts overall health and productivity, increases health care costs, and decreases
overall quality of life. Nearly everyone experiences tooth decay by the time they are an adult. Tooth decay is preventable.
The Snohomish Health District's oral health program monitors oral health in Snohomish County, promotes healthy oral health
behaviors, and provides tooth decay prevention programs.
