@warrenmansell @WiringTheBrain @DialecticalA Love it. We are at the phase of trying to teach our new “kids” not to bring the latest rodenticide victims into the house. Our negative reinforcement definitely losing against their innate goals!

Great new study looking at reduction in dental anxiety in autistic children using real time messaging to minimise time spent in dental waiting room. We suspect this might benefit a much wider population of patients! https://t.co/3PjnJ3sf4Z @Sussex_Psych @dental_cork

Interesting news from Canada - https://t.co/3eqvQu6Y3S - Windsor council voted 8-3 (reversing the same vote 5 years ago) to fluoridate water supply. The reason - a a 50% increase in serious tooth decay among under 5's. @ONDentalAssn @gsoh31

A very interesting talk at @ShefDentistry today from historian Glen O’Hara @gsoh31 on ‘Fluoride in the drinking water: the politics of preventing tooth decay’ - a much needed historical analysis of a hotly debated topic! Thanks for organising @bj_gibson @DPHSheffield

I love this work by @zmarshman , @JnnyHarris and Judith Short - a child centred communication tool for dental procedures using @WidgitHealth @Widgit_Software symbols 👏👏👏

Latest study https://t.co/UUk6eabQxR shows kids having extractions under GA are more likely to be anxious for years. Given increasing numbers of kids teeth extractions we should be concerned by the cycles of fear extractions are causing. Follow up help is vital. @wiley_dentistry

Listening to Emma Barnett BBC Radio 5 Live yesterday, she asked listeners for the wackiest places they've nodded off. Several said they'd nodded off in the dentist's chair, even whilst the dentist was drilling. The very definition of low anxiety! @bbc5live

Dental Institute @kingsdentistry @KingsCollegeLon currently has 9 psychologists and I think we need more! Behaviour change for patients and practitioners, anxiety, communication, pain, public health interventions ...

“The BDA was right to raise concerns that an extension of recall intervals to 24 months could impact on dentists’ ability to detect symptoms of oral cancer early“ - big thanks to @AnasSarwar for helping us win clarity on plans to cut check-ups. https://t.co/7lh1MphOhu
