Dental Anxiety, Asthma, and Other Dentistry News…

Some news highlights I thought I’d share with you…

  • According to a study recently released in Nature, viewing positive images of dentists and dentistry reduces dental anxiety in kids. In the study, children who saw these positive images in the waiting area immediately prior to their appointment had significantly lower levels of anticipatory anxiety and fear.
  • Thank heavens! The Chinese government has announced it is cracking down on the chemical fraud that has led to a number of tainted exports – pet food, cough syrup, and (most recently) toothpaste. Dental products in particular are receiving more scrutiny.
  • As if dental workers don’t face enough health hazards already (particularly from fillings!): new data suggests that cement in fillings may be linked to asthma in dental assistants. Awesome!
