Treatment wins, prevention loses. Yet again...

Almost eighty four years ago now, Dr Bass published his first paper. Four generations of #Dentistry have gone by. In all that time, two, maybe three, out of a hundred #Dentist's see the value in preventing #dentaldisease.

Not much hygiene in this.

🙄 Bragging about filling teeth faster? -|- "reduction in *untreated* tooth decay"?
ZERO #prevention in mind. -|- "If not treated through dental surgical intervention, this disease can result in emergency department visits and life- threatening infection and hospital admission."

#publichealth covers all members of society & the sustainable development goals (#SDGs) are for all members of society
It seems unnecessary to state it but in the #COVID19vic era it now must be clearly stated:

This is a #preventable cause of death. We would call this a #sentinelevent if it happened in a hospital setting.
