2. Prevalence

Trench mouth is currently most prevalent in developing countries with poor access to dental care where oral hygiene may not be practiced regularly. In the United States, it is very rare, found in 1% or less of the population.

Trench mouth’s relative rarity may be due in part to the fact that it is noncommunicable. This means that it does not spread from person to person. Nevertheless, NUG is more likely to develop among certain segments of the population. Soldiers are still a vulnerable group, as are people with underlying medical conditions that compromise the immune system.
