High blood pressure: Having gum disease increases risk for dangerous condition
Express
High blood pressure is a common condition whereby the force of blood pushing against your artery walls is consistently too high. This pressure gradually causes your arteries to harden and narrow, which means the heart has to work harder to pump blood around the body. This mechanism can raise your risk of having a heart attack so it is important to keep it in check. Having poor oral hygeine increases a person's risk of developing high blood pressure.

City A.M.
The first lockdown had a crippling effect on dentists, with two thirds of the practices I work with experiencing financial difficulty, and many even considering shutting down altogether.

If you only brush your teeth once a day, this is when you should do it
Best Life

Most of us are not flossing as much as we should, and even brushing our teeth twice every day, as dentists recommend, is not something many of us do consistently. However, if you are only going to brush once, dentists have some insight as to when to do it.

DrBicuspid
What happens when dentists who own a number of dental practices want to join forces and contribute those dental practices to a startup dental service organization (DSO) that they will own together? There are a lot of steps to take when dentists want to start their own DSO and they are contributing substantial assets to the organization in the form of noncash contributions, such as their own dental practices.

What to say when a patient asks, 'Can I just be billed?'
DrBicuspid
"Can I just be billed?" How often do we get that question from a dental patient? Every time it's asked, it hits you like a wall of bricks, doesn't it?
