University of Michigan Has A New Dental School Dean - The First Woman To Hold The Post Since 1875

Here is the story from Dr. Bicuspid Website

Congratulations to Laurie McCauley, DDS, PhD - She is now the 13th Dean of the school (since 1875) and the first woman to hold this position.

I am delighted to hear about this. It is an important position that involves the ability to influence both staff and students in powerful ways.

I hope Dr. McCauley will use her new found powers for good!

Part of that work should be a focus on prevention

Dental health bills for patients are very expensive. Whenever expensive treatments can be legitimately avoided, it is a good thing.

Educating patients about prevention, particularly in regard to their periodontal health, can make a big difference. Even more so, because gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss.

If patient's were educated about keeping their periodontal pocket depths to 3mm and below, I'm pretty sure it would save them from expensive treatments in the future.

I sure hope Dr. McCauley will put special emphasis on preventing periodontal issues for the patient but impressing the great need for this service to the patients on her students.

My favorite dental health tool for home use is this one.

Sincerely,
