In March, 48 people were arrested in New Mexico, according to an ICE press release. Why is nothing known about who was arrested or their whereabouts?

Oral health care access and quality of life are connected. Untreated oral disease and painful cavities can impact general well-being, school attendance, employment opportunity, social interaction, and fundamental functions like chewing, speech and sleep. #teethmatter

I have to talk about fluoride. As a public health hygienist, most of my patients live in a food desert or choose high-carbohydrate diets because they fill the belly longer and cost less money. So their cavity risk is high. 1/1

Community water fluoridation protects people of all ages against cavities. Studies consistently show that drinking water with a good balance of fluoride reduces cavities by least 25% in children and adults, even with widespread access to fluoride toothpaste and fluoride varnishes. #teethmatter
