Customs and Oral Cancer

An Excellent Dialogue from the BBC about oral cancer and betel nut usage.  Every dentist learned about this 'custom related cancer' and this article is a concise yet comprehensive text on the subject.
Here in the USA we have our chewing tobacco, and in other parts of the world there are products with which habituation results in morbidity as well.

Wait.....What is 'Oil Pulling' ?
This is as close to a rational conversation and explanation on oil pulling as I have found.
Enjoy.

Shameful Dentist
This Dentist chose profits over his patient's health, and this is the result. A tragedy for the family that could have easily been avoided.  My heart goes out to the family of the patient, and hope that other dentists who see dollars signs instead of actually caring for and treating patients, are cautioned.

Profits before Patients
Yet another example of how a low cost introduction to a dental clinic can cost more than just money.  A great investigative report by PBS Frontline that should truly make all of us think twice before being penny wise and pound foolish.

Your smile is such a crucial part of who you are, how you define yourself and how the world defines you as well!

Why you should say  'NO' to strip mall dentists!

Your family deserves better than a corporation making choices regarding your health.
This article highlights the growing number of concerns the public, our state representatives, and our communities have about 'strip mall dentist chains.'
Please read this short article to understand more about the reasons our Texas Senate has been investigating and disciplining these 'Doc in the Box' assembly lines.
