Today we’re revisiting a topic we first looked at back in Blog#50 and that was quite some time ago! The topic is tongues. Often overlooked, tongues play an important, multi-functional role in our body and yet, I would venture to say it is one of the organs we take most for granted! We just know […]
Read MoreRecently, a study was published in Australia that looked at the impact of genes (that is, as in genetics not the jeans you might be wearing right now!) on developing dental cavities.

No, what we’re talking about is the latest […]
Read MoreIn our last blog we looked at the “link” between gum disease and Alzheimer’s. At pretty much the opposite end of the spectrum, today we are talking about a study that examined the pregnancies of 150 women to determine if there was a link between oral health (specifically gum disease) and early onset of labour.
