No proof found that gum disease causes heart disease or stroke

There is no convincing evidence that proves gum disease causes heart disease or stroke, or treating gum disease reduces the risk of those diseases, according to new research. Gum and heart disease share common risk factors, including smoking, age and diabetes, which is possibly why the diseases often occur in the same person.

Reduce Your Risk for Bad Reviews from Dental Patients

Most often, dentists who receive bad reviews that mention kind, caring, reputable team members feel betrayed by the reviewing patient. Doctors may also [...]

2013 AAAS Presentations From Princeton University Faculty

Despite incredible advances in our understanding of biology and millions of research dollars spent, cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Moving toward a cure will require a new understanding of cancer as a disease with varying characteristics, or heterogeneities, that make it resistant to conventional one-size-fits-all approaches. Yet that very heterogeneity may provide a key to controlling cancer…

People who received frequent dental x-rays in the past have an increased risk of developing the most commonly diagnosed primary brain tumor in the United States. Ionizing radiation is the primary environmental risk factor for developing meningioma, which is the most frequently diagnosed primary brain tumor in the United States. Dental x-rays are the most common artificial source of exposure to ionizing radiation for individuals living in the United States.

Cold cases heat up through new approach to identifying remains

In an effort to identify the thousands of John/Jane Doe cold cases in the United States, scientists have found a multidisciplinary approach to identifying the remains of missing persons. Using "bomb pulse" radiocarbon analysis, combined with recently developed anthropological analysis and forensic DNA techniques, the researchers were able to identify the remains of a missing child 41 years after the discovery of the body.

LeAnn Rimes Sues Her Dentist for Ruining Her Teeth + Her ‘Career’

Since it would be silly to expect LeAnn Rimes to take responsibility for her own inadequacies, she’s blaming her dentist for ruining her career. Seems Rimes is suing Dr. Duane C. McKay, who did various dental work over a three-year period including “upper front veneers” and crowns that he said would help with her TMJ pain and make her smile look better. Instead of helping, though, the lawsuit alleges that the pain got even worse. She required “9 root canals and bone grafting,” a “temporary bridge” and “physical therapy” as a result of her dental work. The legal filing also claims that because of the doc’s poor job, she will suffer for the rest of her life with a “permanent cosmetic deficiency” that has affected her ability to perform properly.
