Dental Heroes to Get a Facelift

You've probably noticed that in the last couple of days the site has begun to look a little different. I've started what I consider to be a "phased-redesign". I know that's typically not the best way to re-design a site, but there were some things I just couldn't wait to change. I have a long way to go, but it'll be well worth it. In the meantime, however, everything will remain fully-functional, and I will continue to write posts. So, you have no excuse to stay away :)

How to Choose a Dentist

You may remember that the first part of this series was written back in May, and appropriately titled, "How to find a dentist". In that post, I referenced the guidelines and recommendations for finding a dentist as recommended by the American Dental Association(ADA). That post focused on the signs you should be looking for prior to visiting a dentist. In this post, I'll reference tips provided by the guys over at Quack Watch for evaluating your dentist - to ensure that you have found a good one.

Scientists Create Stem Cells From Teeth

A recent discovery by Japanese scientists could reshape the embryonic stem cell debate. The scientists claim that "wisdom teeth could be a suitable alternative to human embryos as a source for therapeutic stem cells." Stems cells are important because some studies support their ability to fight numerous life-threatening diseases. In recent years, the proposed usage of embryonic stem cells has caused heated debates between pro-life and pro-choice groups. However, this recent finding could have big implications in the future, and perhaps quiet the embryonic stem cell debate...

StarSmileZ Plak-Posse Palz Review

It has been a little while since my last product review, so I figure I'm about due. Like most of my past product reviews, I was contacted by a company rep interested in having their product reviewed. On this particular occasion, I was contacted by a rep at Paragon International, which is a company that develops and distributes oral health training products. Since I haven't reviewed any teaching aids in the past, I figured this would be a great item to share with you - so the rep was nice enough to ship the product to me...

The Toxicologist, Dr. Vyvyan Howard was so convinced by the results of his study that he has joined the growing movement calling for an end to fluoride use in areas where it has been strategically introduced into the water supply.
