The field of dental hygiene is getting attacked by dentists who feel dental assistants would be better at cleaning teeth because they will be less expensive.

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

Community water fluoridation is a cost-effective public health measure that prevents cavities, leading to lower overall healthcare costs & improved oral health for all ages, income levels & health insurance status - offering residents, businesses & health systems long-term savings. #teethmatter

I am saddened by the wildfires in California and the people who have lost everything and some who have listed their lives. But what upsets me more is that #Trump is blaming people instead of offering help. We don’t need to blame but to help. #redcross

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

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

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
