I feel Twitter is the best social media platform. It has tremendous social, educational and networking value.
Personally it has helped me create a lot of awareness about the importance of oral health and clear a lot of myths about my profession.
As an aside, it has enabled me

to help people in dental pain also.
What happened today was the best example of that.
I woke up to a few people tagging me in this tweet:

It ended like this a few hours later:
Heartening to know that today there are gobs & scads of young #Dentist's who want to learn more about who precisely WAS "C.C. Bass, M.D", and what did he have to say about #PreventiveDentistry? 
For the last few decades or so, just about any young #Dentist, when they first learn the real story of who "C. C. Bass, M.D." is, and what he actually did, are puzzled.
A couple of channels results from their #DentalSkool teaching, and thus their thinking.
Let us do a #WaybackWednesday for this week. The Roger Adams Collection at the #UCSF #IndustryDocuments library.
Found here industrydocuments.ucsf.edu/food/docs/#id=…
That collection is where this was found.

Professor Phoebus Madianos, chair of Europerio10, is not concerned with #prevention at all. In fact, he is looking forward to more disease!

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.
From the NTP monograph. #FluorideFriday facts. Judge Chen wouldn't let the folks who want to add bioavailable #fluorine to our diet talk about the "benefits" of #fluoridation. Because there are no facts to support such. The NTP knew that.
The biggest problem the #StannoudFoilHats have, is that since organized #Dentistry has been avoiding talking about the research of C. C. Bass, MD, the loud ones must not know that Dr Bass published his first paper on preventing the loss of teeth in 1943.
That paper traveled around the world many times and was adopted by the new field of #PreventiveDentistry everywhere it was read. The formal practice of personal oral hygiene started a couple of years before Grand Rapids decided to add #fluorine to the diet of their citizens.
