Curious? Read on to see how your practice might be able to help.

Advice can be found in the most unusual places
Dr. Alvin Danenberg was recently encouraged by a fellow dentist to understand the science of evidence as it applies to taking care of a patient's mouth. As he writes, the only problem is that this dentist based his science on the view that the mouth is an island unto itself with little influence from anywhere else in the body.

The domino effect of disease: The mouth and bowel disease
Periodontist Dr. Alvin Danenberg tells his patients that onset and progression of disease are like dominoes, lined up in a pattern and falling one by one once put in motion. One example may be the cause of, and relief from, inflammatory bowel disease.
