Like health care systems everywhere right now, Canadaās is struggling. No country is emerging from the pandemic unscathed - whether they have single- or multi- payer health care systems. /2
But we need to be cautious about drawing conclusions from health care systems in other countries. Each country must take into account the legacy of its history, its culture, its politics, and the values of its people. What works in one country may not work in another. /3

Letās briefly examine why this is the wrong way to look at a social program.
When a service is universal and benefits *everyone* it is more difficult for politicians to play identity politics and wedge issues to divide people over cutting it.
Thatās why *universal* programs are so much more powerful than boutique programs.

Removing teeth isn't always the solution to dental challenges. One of the many alternative solutions to excruciating tooth pain is root canal therapy. In this thread we share all you need to know about this procedure....
When you hear the term root canal therapy, your mind is probably plagued by ideas of its complexity. However, the procedure is easy and not as painful as your mind may have convinced you. It is aimed at removing the infected pulp and cleaning out the canal.
The pulp is the innermost part of the tooth and contains the nerves and blood vessels which nourish the tooth. The canal from which the treatment gets its nomenclature is what holds the pulp. When the pulp gets infected, the infection can spread to the extradental tissues and...

#thread on role of dental care pre-surgery. @medevidenceblog posted this. As a dentist who did a hospital based residency in the US, I have been saying this for a while! It is forgotten that attached to every persons body is an oral cavity aka mouth. #dentalcare #presurgery
