February is National Children’s Dental Health Month in the US.
Ireland should also have a campaign to promote dental health during the month of February. The is enormous room for improvement in dental health in Ireland, one of the best ways to deal with it, is to educate the young. Irish schools should promote dental health at primary and secondary level.
The American Dental Association, along with the ADA Foundation, is pleased to provide you with the February 2016 National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM) campaign poster. This month-long national health observance brings together thousands of dedicated dental professionals, healthcare providers, and educators to promote the benefits of good oral health to children, their caregivers, teachers and many others.
This year’s NCDHM campaign slogan “Sugar Wars” is displayed on both sides of the poster. The Smileys, McGrinns and K9 are in a spaceship, the USS SweetSwatter. It is equipped with toothbrush swatters, fighting against the Sweet Tooth Invaders for good oral health. On the reverse side, preteen/teenagers demonstrate effective ways to defeat the effects of sugar and maintain good oral health by brushing, flossing, rinsing and eating healthy snacks. These versatile posters will help speakers, teachers, and others to address a range of age groups.

The dental industry in Ireland is a cartel. There is no point in shopping around over here as they charge the same extortionate fee’s.
Bioprinting
3D printing is increasingly permitting the direct digital manufacture (DDM) of a wide variety of plastic and metal items. While this in itself may trigger a manufacturing revolution, far more startling is the recent development of bioprinters. These artificially construct living tissue by outputting layer-upon-layer of living cells. Currently all bioprinters are experimental. However, in the future, bioprinters could revolutionize medical practice as yet another element of the New Industrial Convergence.
