What if we had a vaccine that prevents cancer?
Oh wait… we do. The HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine prevents cervical cancer.
✔️ 2-dose series starting at age 9
✔️ Catch up until age 26
✔️ Ages 27–45? Talk to your doctor
Protect your kids. Protect yourself.

Spent some time this weekend studying photos of Koplik spots (an early intraoral sign of measles). I've never seen them in 32 years of dental practice, but it seems less likely that my streak will continue. Many unvaccinated kids in my practice and an exposure in the area.

Had a great discussion with smart and thoughtful people this weekend about the ethics of “intellectual integrity,” in a world where support can be found for any opinion. How do you define and/or practice intellectual integrity?

Going back to work after 10 days off — which included houseguests, holiday festivities, grazing constantly and a 1300 mile driving vacation — is not for the faint of heart.

President Jimmy Carter leaves a legacy unlike any other.
Ceaseless in his service, unbending in his dignity, and revered for his commitment to our common humanity.
He fought the good fight and kept the faith — and now he has finished his race.
May his memory be an inspiration.
