Dental related symptoms such as caries and periodontitis are solvable problems…
…Let’s solve them!
(we may even solve an additional health problem or two along the way)
“The biggest problem in the world could have been solved when it was small.”
– Witter Bynner
A passion for eliminating suffering
Dental caries affects 90% of Adults and 52% of Children
Periodontal Disease affects 70% of adults over the age of 65
Defining the premise accurately
There is a possible future where humans no longer suffer from unnecessary symptoms of inaccurately defined diseases.
Finding true case/effect relationships
Brushing and flossing is correlated with, but not causally implicated in overall oral health…we all know that.
Gathering definitive data
Conducting powerful studies that provide insight into how we can best be able to eliminate oral diseases
We do not blame the victim
Too often victims of preventable diseases are held accountable for their own suffering, yet they are not provided with the tools necessary to help them prevent the diseases. This was true in diabetes and obesity and it is true in dental caries and periodontal disease.
We provide recommendations for effective tools
The technology to prevent and eliminate dental related diseases is here – it is only for lack of imagination that we still allow people to suffer!
We follow the data and the science
We are ready to shift in a moment’s notice when we see that the data is not supporting our hypothesis – we are an independent organization whose only allegiance is to mouths and teeth! …we do not care about hurting the feelings of the companies we support, because we believe our finings will help them improve their products!
We collect, summarize and present the data…
We partner companies who we believe have the solutions to oral diseases with community organizations to facilitate win-win-win situations. The companies win by obtaining the data they need to make strong claims about their products, the patients win by getting highly subsidized care, we win by raising the standard of care in dentistry!
Data is important
- Data allows us to objectively see the problem
- With accurate and objective data we can provide hypotheses
- With hypotheses we can propose and test solutions that work!
Data can raise the standard of care
- We do not need to accept dental caries and periodontal disease as givens
- We can make these conditions optional
The Products We Believe in Could Change Dentistry…
Although we receive financial support from these companies to sustain our efforts, our allegiance remains to the patient that is affected by dental caries, periodontitis and other oral related conditions.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Albert Einstein
