Read Time:6 Minute, 10 Second The COVID-19 pandemic forced dental practices to ask themselves a simple but tough question: “How do we continue?” In a business built on face-to-face interactions, lockdowns and social distancing were particularly daunting hurdles to overcome. Even as restrictions slowly lifted, it became clear new approaches would have to be adopted to ensure patients receive the care they need while maintaining safety and infection control. One such approach was teledentistry. Telehealth and Its Uses Sometimes known by the broader term, telehealth, teledentistry refers to the practice of delivering dentalcare using information technology and telecommunications. Clinicians can…
What is Burning Mouth Syndrome? Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is a hot feeling or sensation which can affect your tongue, lips, palate, or areas all over your mouth. BMS is sometimes called ‘glossodynia’. You get this feeling when there are changes in the way the nerves in your mouth send messages to your brain – for example, about taste and temperature. When your brain doesn’t understand these messages properly it can cause the feeling of pain or burning. Although some parts of your mouth may feel like they are burning, they will not be hot to the touch. You might…

Join us in this episode of Medical History Mysteries as we learn more about the…

This blog has been quiet of late because big things are happening behind the scenes! My journey to become a true healthcare provider, a healer, and the best BioLogical dental health practitioner took years to learn. I searched for answers that weren’t in my hygiene textbooks, magazines, or continuing education courses. I wanted to know why what I learned in school was not working. Why was there so much tooth decay, especially when I had my patients using fluoride and more fluoride? What was the real cause of tooth decay? Why did some family members have it and others not,…
