A root canal tooth is a dead tooth. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything going on inside it.

About this time every year, the American Association of Endodontists tells us that it’s “Root Canal Awareness Week” – an opportunity for concentrated spin on the wonders of a procedure that’s not all that different from mummification, only with a tooth instead of a complete corpse.

Sugar & the Modern Food Environment

Sugar has one thing going for it: It makes things taste good. And it’s a taste we’re born to prefer. In the natural settings that human primate ancestors evolved in, sweetness intensity should indicate energy density, while bitterness tends to indicate toxicity. The high sweetness detection threshold and low bitterness detection threshold would have predisposed […]

When Chronic Illness Starts in the Jawbone

Like many people, Suzin Stockton discovered the link between oral and systemic health first hand – through her own health struggles.
