Wow. Way past time for #Prevention. But not a word spoken about preventing #DentalDisease. 😢 -|- "It's estimated that more than 1.5 million Michiganders have inadequate access to dental care."
Funny that they do not say how they intend to "fix it". 🙄 -|- “The list of individuals who are seeking #dental care but are unable to find a provider has grown by thousands, and this is a problem that will continue to worsen. Now is the time to fix it.”
What a contortion of the facts. Eliminate the NEED for "access to #dentists". Damn "barriers". 💰💵💶💴💷💹🤑 -|- "They say people who rely on Medicaid insurance for #dental care often have poor oral health, because of lack of access to #dentists" michiganradio.org/health/2022-06…
“Millions for treatment, but not one cent for #prevention.”

Good for #FluorideFriday! #EndFluoridation, it doesn't prevent tooth decay if you control for personal oral hygiene and/or diet; we would bet that even Dr Limeback's "one tooth, maybe" postulation would disappear & go the other way if such controls were taken.
The biggest fallacy of adding bioavailable #fluorine to our potable water supply, to prevent tooth decay?
Bi-lingual bad flossing. These jokers just can't find anyone who knows how to hold dental floss. Much less use it. Stock photo's are just not cutting it. Almost as bad as using teeth models to teach brushing. Does no one ever stop and think?
Follow the link, and: -|- "Did you know that you can interrupt and even reverse this process to avoid a cavity?"
Wasn't that the paper that showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that kids in Edmonton suffer #fluorosis 3X more than kids in Calgary? Why, yes, yes it is! Seems to be some credibility fluffing going on.
That was the paper ginned up for the #Calgary vote. If one reads it, it doesn't support #fluoridation. #FluorideFriday! -|- "For smooth surface caries in the permanent dentition (DMFS-SS), there were no statistically significant differences between Calgary and Edmonton samples."
DYK? Enamel #fluorosis is the first, most obvious sign of long term, chronic #fluorine intoxication? -|- "Table 1 also shows that the crude prevalence of dental fluorosis (% TSIF ≥ 1) was statistically significantly lower in Calgary (fluoridation cessation) ..."
You don't say. -|- "Exactly who is opposing the question is a bit murky, but most of the opposition appears to have come from the insurance industry." commonwealthmagazine.org/health-care/sj…
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.
