New Strategy

Dentin hypersensitivity [DH] associated with short sharp pain is a public health concern with a dire consequence to good oral health hygiene. Although different materials and desensitizing toothpastes have flooded the market with claim to provide relief for DH patients by occluding patent dentinal tubules, their occluding abilities have been limited. As such, a new strategy it’s required to effectively manage DH. The use of nanomaterial for dentinal tubules occlusion is predicted to revolutionize the treatment of DH. This article aimed to review the effectiveness of nanomaterials in the management of DH.

Oral Health Literacy

BACKGROUND Dental anxiety has been reported to be a common problem affecting widespread populations in different societies, hence a global public health concern. So far, there are few studies considering the development of dental anxiety and oral health literacy. OBJECTIVE Dental anxiety has been reported to be a common problem affecting widespread populations in different societies, hence a global public health concern. So far, there are few studies considering the development of dental anxiety and oral health literacy. METHODS This review of the literature used the PRISMA strategy for the review of articles. Articles collected and reviewed between June 2019 and March 2020. A sample determined according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the topic by using Google Scholar, PubMed, Medline via OVID, and Cochrane databases. Studies that have analyzed the effect of oral health literacy and dental anxiety. RESULTS Findings from the majority of the studies suggest that Lack of adequate dental health education may result in a high level of dental anxiety among adults population. On average health literacy levels were lower among particular groups (men, older adults, those in poverty, those who received publically funded insurance, those with lower levels of education and those who failed to finish high school). CONCLUSIONS definitive conclusions from the studies reviewed are not possible due to the differences in the study population, age characteristics considered, methods used and statistical tests performed. Further research is required to pay particular attention to younger patients and patients who report previous negative experiences associated with a dental consultation.

Impact On Treatment

Obesity is a serious public health concern that has reached epidemic proportions. This paper addresses the role obesity plays in several health conditions, in addition to how it negatively affects a person’s oral health. Oral health care providers can have a positive impact on treatment outcomes by recognizing patients at risk for obesity and addressing these issues.

Fat Bodies

Over the last twenty years or so, fatness, pathologised as overweight and obesity, has been a core public health concern around which has grown a lucrative international weight loss industry. Referred to as a ‘time bomb’ and ‘the terror within’, analogies of ‘war’ circulate around obesity, framing fatness as enemy.2 Religious imagery and cultural and moral ideologies inform medical, popular and policy language with the ‘sins’ of ‘gluttony’ and ‘sloth’, evoked to frame fat people as immoral at worst and unknowledgeable victims at best, and understandings of fatness intersect with gender, class, age, sexuality, disability and race to make some fat bodies more problematically fat than others. As Evans and Colls argue, drawing on Michel Foucault, a combination of medical and moral knowledges produces the powerful ‘obesity truths’ through which fatness is framed as universally abject and pathological. Dominant and medicalised discourses of fatness (as obesity) leave little room for alternative understandings.
