In his latest column, he wonders if this substance might be a future treatment for periodontal disease.

Dentistry is getting it wrong
We've seen numerous treatment and technological advances in oral healthcare, according to periodontist Dr. Alvin Danenberg. While he celebrates these advances and their impact on oral health, what he'd like to see is an emphasis on teaching patients the real causes of tooth decay and gum disease. As he writes, eliminate the cause of a disease and you eliminate the disease.
